Curated for
CHART

For CHART 2025, Frederik Nystrup-Larsen will create a series of paintings and sculptures, centering the planet’s current mass extinction event wherein thousands of species are disappearing extremely rapidly. Nystrup-Larsen’s practice encompasses plant blindness and painting disappearing species as a way of preserving and giving new life to endangered species. This series is hyper-local, focusing on at-risk and extinct species in the area of exhibition. Botanical Gardens are struggling to keep up with and find space for local plants that are disappearing, for this presentation, Nystrup-Larsen plans to collaborate with the Copenhagen Botanical Garden, working with them to identify and preserve hyper-local species for his presentation at CHART.

Frederik Nystrup-Larsen (DK)

Frederik Nystrup-Larsen’s works exist beyond the traditional classifications of art, in the realms of sculpture, painting and installation, vibrating between figuration and abstraction. Working with both sculpture and painting, his current practice revolves around plant blindness and preservation. Before his solo career, he made several exhibitions and collaborative projects with fellow Danish artist Oliver Sundqvist.

Frederik Nystrup-Larsen (b. 1992, DK) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. He holds a MA from The Royal College of Art, sculpture department, London and a BA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design. Recent exhibitions include Stolen Motifs, Vol. 1 at V1 Gallery, Copenhagen (2024); 6/Daily コンビニ — CASH ONLY, with Oliver Sundqvist at The Plug, Tokyo, Japan (2024); and Love Is Not Enough BOY at Eighteen, Copenhagen, Denmark (2021).
