Henrik Glahn, designer and sculptor. For 30 years he has been running a successful Retail Design Studio in Copenhagen. Parallel to design, he has worked with sculptures, on a semi professional level. In 2019, he decided that art should be prioritized as the most important work in his life

He creates with the hands. As sketches on paper or as 1:1 model made by hand. He let the fingers do the talking. And sense form and space, and follow them where they take him. It is a knowledge beyond words, thoughts and feelings. Just sensations. Form and space are later in the process manifested in the concrete or clay format, to finally end up in the finished works.

It is curiosity that drives him. Like an explorer who goes out into the world. What can the shapes and space do? What are they doing to him? Is it just him or are there others who react in the same way, in other words, does the forms and spaces have a universal character. It is a search for a visual language that communicates via sensations. Does this visual language have a connection with the fractal theory from quantum mechanics? Or a connection with holism from the spiritual world? Is aesthetics a unifying force? Big questions to which he does not seeks answers in the world of thoughts, but exclusively in the visual language. It is a way of feeling the world, but also of being in it.
