STREET ART #266 – Something from Aarhus, Denmark

avatar

I was in Aarhus in May this year primarily to see the paintings that are part of the 17 Walls project. But when we wandered around the streets of the inner city of Aarhus to find all 17, we came across a number of other murals. This is a few of what we saw. I don't know who all the artists are, but some of them are quite good.



As you can see, it wasn't easy to get to see the whole painting. It's painted on a gable, which makes part of it are hidden by the roof of the neighboring house. So we tried to go into the backyard. That was better.



We found this mural inside a backyard. Beautiful painting. The girl seems to be together with the fish. It's not a regular wall it's painted on either, but glass walls.



We are now at the waterfront in Aarhus, where we had to look at the portrait from a distance. It is impossible to get there. The building is right at the edge of the water and a working area closed to the pupblic. If we had wanted to get close, we would have to be in a boat.



The title of this mural is «Måkekysset» which in English means something like «Seagull kissed». The artist is Hans Krull. He is a Danish artist born in 1952 a known graphic artist who is also a painter and a sculptor. His artistic education was completed at Aarhus Art Academy from 1969 -1970. His is connected to Aarhus in many ways, but mostly because of his long career and the large amount of murals he has painted in here. He also did one of the murals that is part of 17 Walls. In colaboration with Peter Birk they did the painting that is inspired by global goal «Sustainable cities and communities»



An upside down person! Here one can only try to guess what the artist meant by this. Any suggestions?

What a great discovery that you found in the Danish city! Never been in Denmark.. I wish I could visit the country one day!

Loved the painting of the girl and the fish one the glass. Ir really transmits a sense of tranquility and calmness.

About the artist that could be "behind" the piece of art of the upside down man, I already saw some works in Portugal that resemble that type of graffiti.

One of them are the Brothers of Light, that I already shared a work from them here (post), and the other option is a Portuguese artist named Miguel RAM that I shared at least two works from him (post 1 and 2)

I'm curious about the real artist that was behind that piece of art!

I'm on my way of packing my bag for a couple of days off! I've very hipped about it!

Have a great week!

Thanks for comment. Aarhus did surprise. Lots of cool art. I totally agree on the girl and fish. I checked your suggestions on artist. Could actually resemble the graffiti in Aarhus!

Great selection. I like the shark with this blue blackground, it seems it swims in the sky. And for last mural, difficult to find a meaning. About motherhood? But why upside down? 🤔

Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.

Have a beautiful day
