Kjell Engman - Artist

“I’m passionate about the larger context, the overall whole,” says Engman. “I love creating worlds with sets, carpets of sound, lights and other effects, even fragrance, in order to build up a mood and actions. I think of my installations as if they were movies without dialogue – like I’m the director and the glass figures are my actors, my artists. I very much want to invite viewers to have a multi-sensory experience, to stimulate their creativity, and invite them to make different interpretations.”

Kjell Engman was born in Stockholm and studied at the University of Arts, Crafts & Design and at the famous, trendsetting Pilchuck Glass School outside of Seattle, Washington in the Pacific Northwest. He has been active as a glass artist and designer at Kosta Boda since 1978. Engman now lives on Öland and commutes to his studio in Kosta. For many years, he has staged popular summertime installations, or “glass performances” as he puts it, at Ekerums Konsthall on Öland.
