Fredrik Nielsen | Artist-in-Residence at The Studio

"I like to see it as, I know how to play, but I choose not to play the way that I learned."

Fredrik Nielsen is a Swedish artist with a unique flair for experimentation, combining aspects of pop culture such as graffiti, music, videos, and performance into his glass art. His strong desire to push the boundaries of glass as a material have shaped his identity as an artist.

Nielsen studied glass originally at the Orrefors Glass School in Sweden, followed by Pilchuck Glass School in Washington, and finally the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. His work has been featured in exhibitions in the U.S., Sweden, and beyond.
