“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 beställning to build up a mood and actions. inom 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. inom very much want to invite viewers to have a multi-sensory experience, to stimulate their creativity, and invite them to man 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 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.

Reflection – a story in glass by Kjell Engman

Kjell Engman’s new exhibition, Reflection, is inaugurated the 17th of August at Strandverket, Marstrand. The exhibition is a compilation of the many worlds Engman has created during the soon 50 years together with Kosta Boda.

Music and glass are both lifelong loves for artist and designer Kjell Engman. Engman is from a musical family, and he plays the bass. Music has always permeated his glass art – not only in his popular glass instruments, but in the dancing musicality and joie de vivre conveyed by his figures, objects and settings.

As a glass artist, Engman has always been a storyteller. He is passionate about building imaginary worlds of glass and other elements – sets, lighting, and other effects, such as fragrance and of course, music, soundtracks. As usual, Kjell Engman wants to spark the triggering of multiple senses.
