Fredrik arbeid

At any given time, there is someone doing something distinctly different. Something no one else can do, or even try. Something which, in what is both a hypersensitive and cynically-ironic art scene, appears independent enough to slip in and out of the conversation unaffected.

by Tommy Olsson, art critic Morgenbladet

It is difficult to criticise the sculptures of Fredrik K.B. without casting doubt on all human experience – which is an amusing thought until you realise this also applies to your very own experience…

It all started with a dream I had one night as a little boy. In this dream I walked into the mountain area called Jotunheimen to escape from all the people…

A portrait of Fredrik K.B. made by Felixfilm. In this video Fredrik tells about the origine of his quest of sculpting stone and what still drives him.

Fredrik’s sculptures are not abstractions, they are not even abstract, but highly concrete. They are images hewn from the rock. They are incarnated from mother earth, from matter herself…

– Geir Uthaug, Norwegian author

The work is not done when the sculpture is finnished… then you have to place it and sometimes that is quite a job… but with good, lojal and professional friends we make it happen. #johansenmonumenthuggeri #singløya (photo by @lpjonassen ) ...

The perfect photographer: @lpjonassen - in between filming he jumps in and helps when he sees that this is needed. I am looking SO MUCH forward to share the film documenting this very special placing of this very special sculpture/music instrument, but while waiting for Lars Petter to work his magic with his collected material I wanted to share with you what an amazing resource he is! #greatestphotographerever #gjallarhorn ...
