What's so strange about danish urban art ?

Besides painting walls, doing graffiti, using stencils and other forms of street-art that you're maybe used to, it's time for a few examples of nice & strange urban danish creativity that you will definitely call art.


Take for example the good old cardboard 'flying pig in a fork' that accompanies the traffic sign that may warn you: after you reach the end of this narrowing street in Copenhagen, you might expect the unexpected... meaning that 'when the pigs fly' is gonna' happen as long as you listen to your stomach. No offense to vegans and professional dreamers!


Or the skateboarder pedestrian...


In Mors there were so many rainy days in the summer, that some people decided to build an Umbrella Sky. This, of course, added a touch of color to the grey atmosphere and kept the inhabitants happy and dry.


In Aarhus people are so much into space traveling, that they stop their cars 'Star Wars' style. 


And that would be the winter version of R2D2...


Anti - theft solution or just revenge for that missing bicycle. Who knows?


When it comes to knitting hearts though, it's really hard not to notice how the love 'virus' spreads...This one is our favorite in Aarhus, you can see it if you go for a walk on Ferdinand Sallings Stræde.
