Li Hill

<div>For WeAart 2016.<br><br>"Inspired by local folklore, I drew from the legend of Holgar Denske for this piece.&nbsp; As the legend goes, the Viking Knight sits in wait at his tomb for the day the Danish people need him again. He will then rise, defying the cloak of death to protect the people. Here he is flanked by ghost like figures of Viking warriors. Cutting the design in half, I also painted a radiating mesh of wolves that move from a prowl to a howl along the surface of the wall. Wolves historically have been part of the Danish culture and environment but over the last 200 years, very little have been seen of them until recently. Just in the last couple years, sightings have taken place that they are re-colonizing the northern parts of Denmark. Utilizing these stories, themes of resurgence, protection and conservation both of the environment and of culture emerge."<br>Li Hill</div>

Aalborg project "Out in the Open" curated by Kirk Gallery.<br><br>How does the way we interact and communicate today affect our relationships?<br>A hurried man riding into an @ with an old fashioned letter in his hand on his way to deliver it to a friend or loved one.<br>Today, our modes of communication have drastically changed.<br>If there is something important we would like to say, we send an email, text, or other digital message instead of an old fashioned letter - with all of the advantages and disadvantages therein.<br>The artists wish to connect the past with the present and get us to think about what influence this has had on the way we live.<br>At the same time, it is very important for them to note that there are postal workers on bicycles, since they noticed the many cyclists in Denmark and hope that the people will recognize themselves in the work and feel that it is theirs.</div>

Needed a reminder on how to cheer myself up that’s why I painted the amazing artist Curtis Hylton. Looking at a friendly, familiar face while painting is a real help! Thanks Curtis.

<div>The “carnival” has been cancelled globally in the spring of 2020.<br>The whole world has been locked down with an enormous effect on all lives, events and businesses.<br><br>Within this context Case Maclaim has made a new large mural in Aalborg, Denmark as part of the ‘Out in the Open’ mural project of KIRK Gallery, portraying a women wearing her "happy face" in a clowns costume.&nbsp;<br>She thought she was going to the carnival.<br><br>As one of many events the biggest carnival in Northern Europe held in Aalborg, Denmark since 1983 with around 100.000 participants, has been cancelled.<br>When arriving in Aalborg getting an impression of what was the life of the citizens there, the conversation quickly turned into talking about the unique character of a carnival like this, and how it works as an “equalizer” between the people.<br>Or as Case Maclaim put it:<br>“A carnival is something special because it is an event where all are equal. It is the only time of the year where everybody gets to be the same – rich or poor, CEO or student, man or women, since everybody is dressed out to be something different.”<br>But for the first time ever this got cancelled.<br>The carnival in Aalborg then became a metaphor to the artist of the current situation in the world.</div>

Inti

<div>Telling about how the mural ‘TAIÑ MAPU / Our Land’, came to life, INTI wanted to refer to the relationship between Denmark and Chile and how both countries are very focused at environmental issues and how the preserve nature and original cultures.<br><br>"While beginning this mural in Denmark (a country known for its environmental policies), the Mapuche people in Chile continue their historic fight for their land. The mural in Aalborg explores the common ground existing between two distant cultures.<br>Where there mainly seem to be differences, both countries maintain a relationship of respect and harmony with the land we inhabit living in us.<br>Today more than ever we have to learn from those who have managed to live in balance with our ecosystem."<br><br>Inti Castro, artistically known as INTI (meaning sun in Quechua), is one of Latin America’s foremost street artists and an artistic ambassador to the world. Coming from a family dedicated to the arts and music, he started tagging the streets of his hometown Valparaiso at the age of 13. Working on the street gave him a freedom to explore from the earliest days of his artistic practice. Yet whilst the wall was his natural medium, he also went through formal artistic studies at the Fine Arts School of Viña del Mar. There he acquired the rigor and training of a professional painter. Life experiences and his street practice rounded off his formation.</div>
