Fredrik Tjærandsen
Born 1995 Bodø, Norway.
Lives and works in London, UK.
Informed by human sciences, nature and philosophy. Tjærandsen has produced works at the intersection of conceptual design, art and fashion. Tjærandsen is inspired by what the senses hold back and what we see and hear that cannot be entirely grasped by the intellect. Each of the senses harbours an inviolable mystery, reserved for itself and inaccessible to the others.
Deeply invested in the potential of our body as an elemental form – a phenomenon with a profound capacity for meaning, as much as a multidimensional canvas for creative process and ideas – Tjærandsen work across numerous fields, be it in performance, set-design, or art presents a crucial bridge between the optimistic, philosophical origins of performative design and immersive art, the present and where they have yet to delve.
Identity is abstract. When the source is elusive, narrative and meaning shift between the concrete and obscure. In the graduate project “Moments of Clarity”, Tjærandsen wades into his foggy, conceptual realm. From memory to metaphor – sliding fluidly through the imagistic and emotive – emerges an immersive, cavernous world that rethinks experience on organic terms.
Tjærandsen presents works of revisits and reworkings, one which acts as a hinge in closing this particular chapter whilst opening up windows to new projects. Unafraid to embed himself in the ongoing whirlpool of visual art. Tjærandsen output remains a thrilling body of exploration and continuous transformation.
