ARKEN opens in 2025 the largest solo exhibition to date with the Danish artist Frederik Næblerød (b. 1988). He is known for his uncompromising art, where he challenges with great creative power our accustomed understanding of painting and sculpture in a raw, energetic and playful style.
With his works ranging from painting, ceramics, bronze and drawing to large-scale installations, he has created a very special artistic universe that invites us inside into the spontaneous, absurd and humorous. The exhibition at ARKEN will be an intense and sensual encounter with Frederik Næblerød's art.

The exhibition is full of surprising spaces, and on the way around you get very close to the artist and his gaze on the contemporary. Frederik Næblerød unfolds a unique, humorous and boundary-breaking idiom in his works, which are sampled from science fiction, myths, dreams and images that he sees in everyday life. Næblerød creates art out of a great inner necessity, and at ARKEN there is an exhibition where art and life flow together.
