Fredrik Nielsen is a classically educated glassblower who has left the clean Swedish glass tradition far behind. In his graffiti style installations he features ostentatious vases together with his name and mobile number frenetically written all over the place. Neither in presentation nor in the production process he responds to the expectations one has towards glass. As tools he might use hedge trimmers and manhole covers as well as car paint for the final finish. Fredrik Nielsen is momentarily having a museum show at the recently opened “Glass Factory” in Boda, Sweden.
