Wall art

What my wall paintings have in common is that I have made them for a specific place, which is why in one way or another I always relate to the surroundings and the context the paintings are part of. This can be the history of the place, the vision with the place, the users or the architectural space or the architectural space in itself. Always with passion!

If you are interested in my wall art:

It is possible to apply for (partial) support for mural art through the municipalities, who are often open for dialogue. The municipalities' criteria for support have a lot to do with whether the project is locally rooted. This can be expressed through the choice of motif and citizen involvement in different ways. We have the best chance of obtaining support if we apply together. There are also opportunities to apply for sponsorships in the local area.

Companies have the option of immediately writing off up to DKK 32,000 per work: "Buying a company, e.g. a painting for DKK 100,000 by an artist, the company can write off 25 per cent annually. of the value, just as if it were any other means of operation.” Read more here: untitled (kum.dk).

Wall art is important because it's not just about painting, it's a cultural fix and it pushes the feeling of belonging for residents, just as it can have a preventive effect towards vandalism. Wall art can make a difference! 

I can deal with all aspects of the entrepreneurship.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in a dialogue about my wall art.

Workshops

I have processed a large number of workshops for children, young people and adults in many different contexts. My workshops often take place at a specific location where an event is taking place and I get hired to focus on a specific agenda through art and decoration, but I have also facilitated other kinds of pop-up workshops aimed more at creating relationships or with the more clear outcome of decorating a room, a wall or the like.

Common to all my workshops is that I work inclusively with a focus on the relational interaction that occurs in co-creative processes. This should free the proces and lead to something relevant. 

I wish I had more time for these kinds of projects..

Teaching

I am a qualified Upper Secondary lecturer with "pædagogikum" in visual arts, design and architecture.

I teach at the European School in Copenhagen in the subject Art, which is equivalent to Billedkunst in the Danish gymnasium. Here, students can choose Art at A level, which means that the students complete a basic three-year art education with me. The teaching alternates between theory and practice, with the main emphasis on practical work within the most important visual and spatial forms of expression: visual art, architecture and design.

My students make my acquaintance with many different living and deceased artists and perceptions of the concept of art, they learn about basic forms of visual expression such as light/dark, composition, perspective, etc., and they gain experience in working across materials, methods and spaces. I take them on excursions to museums and higher education institutions. We create wall paintings, installations, exhibitions and much more.

I really enjoy teaching, inspiring and passing on my knowledge.

Pink Army

Pink Army is an international street art project and a non-profit organization that turns against war.

Pink Army is represented by many different cells, in different countries, as well as hundreds of freelancers spread all over the world.

Me and a few friends founded the main cell in Copenhagen in 2007. Since then, several "factions" of Pink Army have arisen in Copenhagen and Aarhus, USA, Norway, France, Italy, England and Germany, among others.

Pink Army has had its provisional heyday, but still lives on..

Exhibitions

I have participated in a large number of solo and group exhibitions at museums, galleries and cultural centers.

For example at KØS - Museum for Art in the Public Space.

Books and articles

I have written several books and articles about my art projects, about graffiti and about my teaching/workshop practice. I have also created a pop-up book, as well as contributed to various cultural book publications and an urban art-renewal strategy.
