Sigve Knutson (NO)
The broad array of sculptural objects masterfully created by Sigve Knutson are driven by his exploration of tools and materials in their unique nature and histories, where the intuitive and the spontaneous are given space in the process of making. Deeply motivated by a drawing mentality, his works often naturally call for an interaction with the very materials, as much as a connection with our collective creative memory. And there grows an ever-evolving vocabulary of forms and shapes developed by Knutson, that straddles worlds of design, craft and art.
Sigve Knutson (b. 1991, Lillesand; NO) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. The artist was a recipient of the Scheibler Foundation Prize in 2023. Recent exhibitions include: NEVVEN (Bologna; IT, and Gothenburg; SE), OUTPOST (Copenhagen; DK), Sørlandets Kunstmuseum (Kristiansand; NO), Design Museum Gent (Gent; BE), and Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, NL) among others.
