Fredrik Nielsen’s main material is glass. Trained a glass blower he is approaching his material and the traditions around it in his very own way. His raw expression influenced by graffiti, music and pop culture is pushing our perception of glass into new directions. Nielsen considers his technique and choice of material as his artistic framework. Within this framework he is exploring and searching for new expressions resulting in glass objects marked by the process of making them, which is something we can look forward to see in his upcoming exhibition at the gallery.
