Frederik Næblerød: Stentøj, 2017. Gilded stoneware, 40 x 50 x 25 cm.
Frederik Næblerød’s ceramic sculpture Stentøj (Danish for stoneware) takes shape of two figures with their faces directed towards each other. The imitation is not exact. Rather, it is two abstract and monstrous creatures who look each other in the eyes. The stoneware is glazed with gold and the shiny, exclusive surface creates a contrast to the actual motive which has a scrawny or hard expression. Parallel with his ceramic work Næblerød creates expressive paintings and his universe of figures is a throughout element in both medias where his fabulations creates abstractions over personas, everyday scenarios, and mythical creatures.
Frederik Næblerød (1988, DK) graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Arts in Copenhagen in 2018. Næblerød has exhibited at NADA Art Fair, US; Politiken’s Exhibition Hall, DK; Horsens Museum of Art, DK; J. F. Willumsen Museum, DK; Galleri Tom Christoffersen, DK, and Alice Folker Gallery, DK, among others. Together with the artist colleaque Casper Aguila Christoffersen he has created the projects Korshage 2015-16, which consisted of a summerhouse undergoing a constant artistic transformation, and Memorial Flag which consisted of a flag decorated with a smiley which were hung as a memorial for patients at the Psychiatric Hospital Nykøbing Zealand 1945-82. Næ-blerød is represented by Alice Folker Gallery in Copenhagen.
