Sigve Knutson’s (b.1991, Lillesand) practice is driven by his exploration of tools and materials and focuses on the intuitive and the spontaneous in the process of making. Deeply motivated by a drawing mentality, he creates sculptural objects that call for an interaction with the very materials, as much as a connection with our collective creative memory. Knutson holds an MA in Contextual Design from Design Academy Eindhoven (2016), a BA in Design from The Oslo School of Architecture and Design (2014), and he was a recipient of Scheibler Foundation Prize in Design, Fashion, Arts and Crafts in 2023. He has been exhibited at NEVVEN (Bologna, 2024 and Gothenburg, 2023), theStable (S-chanf, 2024), OUTPOST (Copenhagen, 2023), Gerhardsen Gerner (Oslo, 2022), London Craft Week (2022), Carwan Gallery (Athens, 2021), Market Art Fair (Stockholm, 2021), Sørlandets Kunstmuseum (Kristiansand, 2020), Design Museum Gent (2020), Chart Design Fair (Copenhagen, 2019), Norwegian Presence (Milan, 2018), Patrick Parrish Gallery (New York, 2017), and Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, 2017) among others. Knutson lives and works in Oslo, Norway.
