Collection: Casper Schjødt Nielsen

Casper is a self-taught artist, born in 1976 on the Danish island of Funen. As the eye falls upon Casper’s works, it is difficult to ascertain exactly what you’re looking at, and herein lies the interesting aspect of his work: as your eyes wander across the amorphous, fragile and meticulous works, so does your mind. This is no coincidence. Casper’s wish is to divert people from his associations with the work and let them shape their own experience of the image. His desire, as an artist, is to distance himself from the audience and work and thereby let it exist without referencing back to its creator. His creation is thus not only the work itself, but also a space around it, open for the onlooker’s interpretation and association, a style and form which is not often seen in other artists.
