Axel Void

<div>The artwork read 'Má Ferin Jú Økjast' which is faroese for 'Then the speed must increase'. The term is borrowed, and pays homage to a local streetartist 'Búgvi' from the islands. You can find 'Búgvi's' work in the streets of Tórshavn. Look for handwritten notes and scribbles on walls often cryptic and incoherent text sentences around the city of Tórshavn.&nbsp;</div>

Jacoba Niepoort

<div>&nbsp;Jacoba Niepoort did this magnificent artwork in the summer of 2021, for the streetart project 'Gøtulist'. The artwork is located on the side of 'Hotel Tórshavn', an historical building which used to be the 'Sailors house'.<br><br>From Jacoba's post on social media.<br>'I spent most of July painting on the Faroe Islands, on a project organized together with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gotulistfo/">@gotulistfo</a> . This wall is in downtown Torshavn, painted on a building that is now Hotel Torshavn but which used to house sailors' families while the men were out at sea.&nbsp; The hotel personelle requested I limit nudity for this mural and so I took inspiration from the islands’ sleeping, giant, rolling mountains and the poems of Faroese William Heinesen, who writes incredibly beautifully about nature, constant change, life and death.<br><br>This project had its fair share of new challenges, including painting on ultrasmooth nonabsorbent plastic sheets in 98% humidity.'</div>

<div>'Støðufuglur' is the faroese word for a non-migratory bird. The islands have a massive bird population, however many of these birds are migratory birds ('Flytifuglar'), which means the spend their summer on the islands and go to the southern hemisphere for the winter. The faroese people often used this term ('Flytifuglur) for people that like to leave islands in the winter (flee the harsh cold ad darkness). The artwork is on the side of the campus building in the 'Frælsið' area.</div>

Anders Reventlov

<div> Anders Revenlov has done this beautiful piece in the historical old part of Torshavn as a part of the streetart project 'GØTULIST'. Excerpt from A.Reventlov's Instagram: "It became kind of classic graffiti like styles, and in color, the amount of materials was limited and the weather was pooring rain. I did not have so much time but i really wanted to do at least something if the oppertunity came up and it did. In stead of waiting for the right conditions to be able to use white roller paint and black, i quickly decided to get with was easy to get so i could get started. It was really fun even it rained non stop and the walls was super wet! The building is from 1948 and is owned buy a young woman who gave me permission to paint it. Thank you."</div>
