Malin Pierre

Swedish visual artist Malin Pierre creates organic glass sculptures in seductive colours, inspired by haute couture as well as the experience of softness contrasted with hardness. With an intense curiosity for materials; their surfaces, weights and textures – Pierre works in an impulsive and exploratory manner. She is absorbed by the idea of how different materials appear and behave, and is motivated by the experience of their transition from soft to hard. Based on this, Pierre’s sculptural glass shapes manage to evoke the expression of sewing art and voluminous upholstery.

Malin Pierre (b. 1977) lives and works in Stockholm. She has a BA in Ceramics and Glass at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm and is currently student at the MA programme CRAFT – Ceramics and Glass at the same university. Pierre likewise has a previous degree in scenography for film and television, and has formerly worked as a freelance set designer for various types of film and television productions.
