<div>This entire area in full of street art and graffiti - all on legal walls.<br>This is a very active and changing wall and you never know when the street art is going to change - but you can always be certain that there is some!<br>Sometimes it is quite graffiti-like and other times it is very artistic.<br><br>To get a better idea of this area and its vibes, take a stroll in the area - it is never boring and there is much more street art than is shown here on Street Art Cities.

Ole Marcussen

<div>While not street art in the painted sense, this is indeed street art that will catch your attention. It is located in a very trafficked intersection on a big wall. It is made by Ole Marcussen from the artist collective "Labyrint".&nbsp;<br>The inspiration for this artwork is the stream and the course it is running through the city of Aarhus towards the sea. The stream has been vital for the city's development and status as the second biggest city in Denmark today. The motive can be interpreted in other ways however.&nbsp;<br>Even though Aarhus stream is the inspiration for the artwork, it is easy to see on maps that the stream's course is completely different and not at all as meandering as pictured.</div>

<div>On a wall that has changed a lot in the past, Peter Grisk is the most recent artist.</div>

<div>A little burger with bank notes as lettuce.</div>

<div>This street art is painted by the very famous Italian graffiti artist Blu. It is said that the mural only took him 1 day to complete, but he was seen at the wall one day to inspect the wall, the next day to start painting and the third day to finish up. So the mural probably took him 2-3 days.<br>Notice that the chimney on top of the building is part of it as well as the end of the pencil.<br><br>It was painted as a part of the exhibition "Icons for Now".</div>

<div>Street art of four old fishing boats in decay.<br>Peter Birk - who is the owner of Gallery Grisk in Aarhus - works a lot with things in decay and this is no exception.<br>This painting is very similar the mural on Rentemestervej 61 in Copenhagen, that he has also painted.</div>

<div>Painted in the spring of 2018, "The Great White Shark" is one of several underwater murals in Aarhus - all painted by Eske Touborg.<br><br>For more about this mural, see Eske Touborg's own site:&nbsp;<a href="https://aarhusgraffiti.dk/portfolio/graffitikunst-gavlmaleri-hvidhajen-i-vestergade/">https://aarhusgraffiti.dk/portfolio/graffitikunst-gavlmaleri-hvidhajen-i-vestergade/</a></div>
