NORDKAPEREN

My last mural for Byens Hegn along the new Copenhagen Metro line @ Havneholmen Station, 2019.

Putting focus on consumerism, plastic polution and biodiversity with my mural in front of Fisketorvet, one of the largest malls in Copenhagen. I painted the North Atlantic Rightwhale, called Nordkaperen in Danish, in it´s natural size about 20 meters. It is one of the biggest mammals on earth and also one of the most endangered whale species with only approximatly 450 individuals left.

Putting focus on endangered species living in the arctic. Human activity as oildrilling, mining and fishing is a major risk for marine animals, espacialy the population of Bowhead Whales around Greenland are endangered. Six out of the 13 great whale species are classified as endangered or vulnerable, even after decades of protection.

Raising awareness about bee hives collapsing all over the world, the phenonomen is known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). One of the main reasons is believed to be pesticides containing Neonicotinoids, a leftover from oil production now used in harmful agriculture. New laws and politcal action is needed to prevent future damage to our ecosystem and foodchain.
