The long and rich history of Swedish glass art has encompassed both innovation and tradition, prestige and simplicity, prosperity and decline. Today, 100 years after the heyday of the Swedish Grace movement, it is entering a new era. A generation of bold artists are questioning established traditions and conventional approaches and celebrating shapes, colours and desire.
Markus Emilsson has invited five leading Swedish glass artists to participate in an exhibition that is unconstrained, raw and bursting with colour. Maria Bang Espersen, Peter Hermansson, Hanna Hansdotter, Kirsten Vikingstad Hermansson and Fredrik Nielsen are developing, each in their own way, new aesthetic languages. They share a common passion for craftsmanship and a deep desire to contribute to the revival of glass art.
