Painted at Stavanger University Hospital in February 2021 as a tribute to healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. It depicts the then Norwegian Minister of Health, Bent Høie, lifting a healthcare worker in the style of dirty-dancing. Prints of the work were subsequently send as a gift to hospitals throughout Norway.
Hi, I’m Julian Braithwaite, a street art hunter and photographer.
I moved to Stavanger, Norway from the UK in 2012, and it was not long before I became captivated by the abundance of street art throughout the city, mostly from the renowned Nuart Festival.
I have come to really appreciate art in the environment of the streets, and the importance of documenting this work.
