Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl works mainly in various ceramic materials and frequently employs 2D and 3D-digital methods for his experimenting with objects that integrate digitally based visual universes into the physical expression in clay.

He is a strong believer in the power of form as emotional, non-narrative communication. Over the years he has worked with a number of different spatial themes, that seem to reoccur in his formal vocabulary, i.e. the rhytmic and ornamental possibilities of – and around – the knot; the logic of natural, genetically based form meeting constructed or virtual form; intuitive spatial form as in the recent series ‘Spatial Drawings’ from 2014.

He employs a serial work-process, where the visual expression gradually crystallizes through a long series of experiments. Ultimately, the combinations of form, ornament and image will appear simple and easy to decode, while remaining open to a variety of possible interpretations of content.

Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl’s works are represented in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, The Danish Museum of Art & Design in Copenhagen; Trapholt Art Museum, DK; International Ceramics Museum Grimmerhus, DK; The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo; Röhsska Museum, Gothenburg, SE; Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and MIMA in Middlesbrough, England, and in many private collections in Europe and the US, e.g. the Diana and Marc Grainer Collection, Washington; the Annie and Otto Johs.
