Quirky Public Art


[Edit]
Posters of Copenhagen Park Personalities|
I simply love the work of street artist Husk Mit Navn (in English ‘Remember My Name’). Besides drawing funny colorful characters on posters, in books and in his own strip in the newspaper, he also finds time to make public artworks for the streets of Copenhagen and other Danish cities. In this series of street adornment, he has created a bunch of stereotypical characters found in a park. There is the student on a lunch break, the young couple, the Muslim woman with her blue scarf in her hair, and the old grandpa who chats to everybody in the area. Not very scary at all.
