Morten Klitgaard. Oro

Morten Klitgaard’s abstract, sculptural forms appear weather beaten, organic and patinated due to the use of oxides upon the surface which cause a reaction to occur with metallic pigments to give a sense of depth and pattern to each and every piece. Tactile, textured surfaces give an unconventional aesthetic and feel to his work, while at the same time honoring the traditions of glass blowing in a contempoary context.

Klitgaard started working for a glass artist called Leif Vange in the town he grew up in. Following that he was taught and trained for 3 years by Danish glass artist Tobias Møhl, who’s known globally for his use of Venetian techniques. In that periode he did a masterclass with Dante Marioni, and he saw the possibility in learning more about the material so applied for The Royal Danish Design School, where he finished his BA in 2012.
