The Danish artist Rasmus Eckhardt (b. 1982) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. He creates works that merge reality with dreamlike elements, exploring a poetic tension between the tangible and the imagined. His practice conveys a sense of existing between two worlds, often portraying figures in motion, rendered with fragile expressions and delicate brushstrokes. The creative process begins with chalk or brush on a wooden panel, followed by a gradual layering of colors and motifs. Eckhardt invites viewers into a world of fragmented realities, where figures may lack facial features and perspectives dissolve into the background, blurring the boundaries between presence and absence, memory and perception.

The mural has been Curated by Jens-Peter Brask.

The artist's own statement about the work

“Drengen med de snoede ben” is my fourth mural on Amager. All these murals have been made possible by a great deal of engagement by local communities. This is something I enjoy about Amager. Locals here are committed to create a better environment for everyone. During the process of raising funding for this mural, one initiative was to set up a popcorn stand on the street in order to collect donations for the painting. Another initiative was to create a “Welin-walk”. A map in which you can find all my paintings in Amager. Murals is art for everyone, and that’s what makes it meaningful.

The artist Oskar Koliander has created a work for Eftertænksomhedens Oase (the Oasis of Reflection), consisting of three granite sculptures (a tetrahedron, hexahedron, and dodecahedron) and four quotes engraved in granite curbstones.

The granite sculptures are placed within the park, while the curbstones are located at each of the four entrances.

The work draws inspiration from the cemetery’s imagery but is tied to reflection rather than religion. The shapes of the sculptures can be found both in nature and across thousands of years of culture.

The quotes describe a way of relating to the world and invite contemplation. They were chosen based on suggestions submitted by the residents of Amager, with the most fitting ones being selected.

Quote 1: "Kæmp for alt, hvad du har kært" (Fight for everything you hold dear) is from Christian Richardt’s hymn “Altid frejdig, når du går”. It references the graves of the fallen resistance fighters at Sundby Cemetery.

Quote 2: “Skynd dig langsomt" (Make haste slowly) is an old Greek saying popularized by Emperor Augustus. It reminds us not to rush through life but to appreciate the passing of time.

Quote 3: “Mest af alt holder jeg af hverdagen" (Most of all, I love the everyday) by Dan Turèll highlights that life is about more than its high points. The slow pace, the changing seasons, and life’s rhythms also deserve celebration.

Quote 4: "Intet i livet skal frygtes, det skal blot forstås" (Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood) by scientist Marie Curie encourages us to face challenges with curiosity and openness.

The quotes are embedded in the pavement at the entrances, like welcome mats inviting visitors in. The lettering uses a typeface commonly seen on gravestones.

The sculptures are the same size and material as gravestones. In the Oasis of Reflection, they stand as pure forms, without inscriptions tied to any specific person, time, or religion.

The work has been supported by the Amager Øst Local Committee, Sundby Urban Renewal, and the City Beautification Project.

The white painted chimney is decorated with 2 vertical stripes, one blue and one red.

The blue stripe faces north and the red stripe faces south.

At street level, the colors of the surroundings influence the experience of the chimney's color scheme, and vice versa. The red house on the corner of Sundholmsvej and the entrance to Sundholmen will be set in the mind in contrast to the blue stripe and parallel to the red stripe.

When you move around the neighborhood, you will experience the chimney from one place as having one color, white. A few steps will reveal a narrow strip of blue. The chimney will then appear white again. Whereupon the red stripe appears.

It will take time to perceive the overall picture of the chimney for those who move around the neighborhood. Although the idea is simple, it is not necessarily quickly caught on. As with three-dimensional sculptures and objects, one must necessarily move around them to see the whole.

William Skotte Olsen's painting Madonna shines with an almost divine aura. When you see the small painting, you understand why a reviewer once compared him to Chagall. William Skotte Olsen painted throughout his life, a life marked by mental illness and daily drug use. He portrayed Madonna with a mask-like face, a feature frequently seen in his work. The Madonna figure is radiant with a yellow halo, surrounded by warm tones, giving an overall impression of hope and tranquility. A figurative, expressive, and colorful painting.

Exotic landscapes and wild animals are some of Scherfig's most commonly used motifs. The jungle painting that hangs in the shops at Kofoeds School is a magnificent example of Scherfig's work. Viewing the jungle scene is almost like visiting the zoo or being in Africa. The painting depicts a group of elephants gathering by the riverbank. The river is surrounded by jungle-like nature with palm trees and bushes. As in most of Scherfig's works featuring African nature, one can discover many small hidden details, often in the form of small creatures that become visible the longer one observes the artwork.

A robust and somewhat heavy relief in iron and concrete is placed above the door to Heeruptrappen at Kofoeds School. For many years, the relief was called "The Bridge" and thus became part of the narrative about people transitioning from drinking in the courtyard to getting an education and improving their lives.

Over the years, the relief was commonly attributed to Kofoeds School's metal workshop. It wasn't until 2018 that it became clear it was made by the sculptor and painter Morten Nielsen (1920-1998). This was later verified through Weilbach's Artist Encyclopedia, where the artwork is mentioned. The relief is titled: It’s Good to Have a Group. With an Amager perspective, it’s interesting that Morten Nielsen also created the statue at Christmas Møllers Plads in memory of the freedom fighters of Amager – the fallen members of the Resistance Movement. A statue that many residents of Amager pass by daily on their way to the city center.

Wall Murals at Højdevangen Skole - Vilhelm Bjerke Petersen

At Højdevangen Skole in Amager, there are two wall murals by the artist Vilhelm Bjerke Petersen. He passed away at the age of only 47 but left a lasting impact through his paintings and the manifest-like texts about art that he diligently wrote. He created these two murals between 1932 and 1939 in collaboration with his then-wife, the artist Elsa Thoresen.

The artist Asger Jorn described Vilhelm Bjerke Petersen's contribution to Danish art as follows:

"In the beginning of the thirties, an artist completely turns Danish art life upside down, becomes the starting point for a new artistic trend, and then quietly disappears from the scene, celebrated abroad but a 'dead' man in his own country."

The mother looks down at the child with a natural calm, while the child gazes directly at the viewer. The image is a tribute to the close relationships that shape us, often in hidden and unnoticed ways. At Amagerbro Torv – a busy transition between home and work, city and residence – the mural serves as a reminder of where we all come from: that someone cared for us, fed us, held us,

In connection with the transformation of the schoolyard at Amager Fælled School, visual artist René Schmidt created 22 works specifically for the schoolyard. The schoolyard has been transformed into a new school forest and green oasis, surrounded by an open "border zone" in the form of concrete walls of varying heights and sizes. The 22 geometric sculptures are based on the geometric brick reliefs of the school building and literature, including German biologist and philosopher Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur from 1900.

The transformation of the schoolyard is based on an urban renewal project and was developed in close collaboration between architect Lene Nielsen from the Children and Youth Administration in the Copenhagen Municipality, Nord Architects, as well as the school's students, teachers, and local neighbors. Thing Brandt Landscape acted as the lead consultants on the project.

The Cigar at Kofoeds School

The local artist duo Randi & Katrine have created the artwork at Kofoeds Skole. The artwork is Kofoeds Skole's smoking room, an 8-meter-high cigar designed with a band, rolled copper leaves, and ash on top—featuring indoor smoking facilities such as chairs, a table, and ashtrays.

"When you are at a social service like Kofoeds Skole, you have to acknowledge that many people still smoke and that smoking is not the biggest problem for the citizens. In recent years, many smokers have felt marginalized. Therefore, it is wild and wonderful that Randi and Katrine, in collaboration with our students, have come up with the idea for probably the most spectacular smoking room in the city. They have worked with form, design, and the development of the ordinary frameworks for what and how one can design social services, so there is room for both the quirky and the beautiful," says Robert Olsen, head of Kofoeds Skole.

The artwork is supported by the New Carlsberg Foundation.

Lying Calf (Liggende Kalv)

The sculpture "Liggende Kalv" (Lying Calf), created by the artist Gudrun Lauesen, was offered for purchase to the City of Copenhagen in 1952.

From the City Architect's office, there is a recommendation regarding the purchase:

"... regarding the sculptor Gudrun Lauesen's bronze figure 'Liggende Kalv,' I must say that I find it exceptionally graceful and very lively, although it is less suitable for being placed freely in a public space in the city due to its modest size. In one of the newer schools or kindergartens - and primarily indoors - this small sculpture will certainly assert itself artistically and bring great joy to both children and adults."

Orb Family

The glowing orbs in the University Canal are one of the area's natural stopping points.

Since 2015, the Orb Family has resided in the water under the bridge at Njalsgade and the University of Copenhagen. The artwork was originally created by artists Pipaluk Supernova and Thomas Jørgensen from Live Art Installations as part of the Copenhagen Light Festival. They were created in collaboration with Ørestad Vandlaug and the Ørestad North Homeowners' Association.

Remember to visit the orbs after nightfall. They are nocturnal creatures and therefore sleep during the day. You can find them at the northern end of the University Canal at Njalsgade.

Abstract Sculpture

The sculpture in Remiseparken was created by sculptor Helge Holmskov in 1979.

Originally, the sculpture was installed at the library square between Dyvekeskolen and Solvang Church. However, just four years later, it was taken down due to damage caused by a severe storm in the autumn of 1983.

After many years in storage, the sculpture has now found its new home. Helge Holmskov passed away in 1982, so he did not witness the sculpture being removed from its original location. Perhaps he now finds joy from the beyond knowing that it has been resurrected, now beautifully positioned at 'Velkomstpladsen' in Remiseparken.

In 1956, a cement sculpture was erected by the Albertina Foundation and the Copenhagen Municipality's Cultural Fund with funds from the Nancy Hage and son Hother Hage's legacy for the general benefit of the city. This was replaced by a bronze version in 1965. The original was returned to the artist so he could further refine it.

Two neighbors have revitalized a small square in the neighborhood as a tribute to the author Klaus Rifbjerg, who was born and raised right here on Ingolfs Allé in Sundby.

Bjørn and Torben have worked on the project for three years with support from their homeowners' association, as there was consensus that the small square in the middle of the neighborhood could use some tender loving care.

Sculptor René Schmidt created three sculptures, each offering their perspective on Rifbjerg's life and literary works. With a new bench in the center of the square, Sundby now has a lovely little meeting place that also tells the story of one of Denmark's greatest authors.

The neighborhood renewal fund 'Nye mødesteder og særlige genveje' (New Meeting Places and Special Shortcuts) from Sundby and the Amager Vest Local Committee have supported the project.

The sculpture consists of two symmetrically mirrored elements made of red bricks. Although the structure serves no functional purpose, its architectural expression follows an unyielding logic, referencing a solid Danish building tradition where craftsmanship was paramount. The building, without a roof, windows, or doors, acts as a boundary between urban civilization and nature. The openings also provide a view of Copenhagen's skyline with its characteristic towers.

The Lake of Love

On a circular, artificial island with granite steps all around, a tall stele stands in the middle. It is composed of 12 stone blocks made from various types of granite. Each stone block features reliefs of the front and back of a female torso. Twelve women of different sizes and ages provided their bodies for the plaster casts from which these reliefs were carved. The other two sides of the stone blocks have indentations with green vegetation. Water trickles down from the top over the polished female figures.

Surrounding the stele is an airy pavilion consisting of four sections, each representing one of the four elements: fire, water, earth, and air. A light steel structure supports four canopies made of leaded, mouth-blown, colored glass with stylized depictions of figures and animals.

The island is situated in an artificial lake on the edge of Amager Fælled and can be accessed via a bridge made of corten steel. At night, the glass canopies and the granite stele are illuminated from below, the latter from under the water, creating a shimmering effect.

The artwork was donated by the Danish Arts Foundation, By & Havn, and the Year 2000 Foundation.

Stories are told about the contrast between the near and the distant, and between countryside and city. The artist has called it "a stake in the current of time." It also references the spire of Christianshavn's Our Saviour's Church, as a sort of mirroring.

Soil

The sculpture is part of three temporarily placed works, Soil, Sea, and Sky, which together make up the Sundby Portals. The sculpture is based on chalk, hemp, soil, and clay, as a way to honor both the historical agriculture that has been a significant part of Amager since the 1600s and the enormous clay moraine on which Amager is based.

The project has been an attempt to experiment with both recycled and natural materials in public works. The project is supported by Områdefornyelsen Sundby's fund for New Meeting Places and Special Shortcuts.

The square at Wittenberggade/Lyongade was previously an unused piece of scrubland, mostly functioning as a garbage dump and dog toilet. A resident of the building adjacent to the square took the initiative to significantly transform it. Initially, new paving and trees were installed, followed by two sculptures by Knud Ross Sørensen: one of a dancing couple and another of an accordion player providing music for the dance. In the winter of 2009, a gigantic chandelier designed by architect Lasse Schalde was installed above the square. The chandelier consists of a steel ring with 12 lamps hanging underneath. These lamps display the changing colors of nature through colored LED lights.

East of the Sun and West of the Moon (Østen for solen og vesten for månen)

The sculptures in the playground are based on the fairy tale "East of the Sun and West of the Moon" by the Norwegian authors P. Chr. Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe. They are designed as an integrated part of a playground constructed according to principles of accessibility in connection with the European Year of Disabled Persons 2003.

The fairy tale revolves around a prince transformed into a polar bear and a poor girl who embarks on a perilous journey to save him. Along the way, she encounters various mythical characters. The polar bear is carved in wood, while the prince and the girl as princess are in granite. Carved in wood are three horses, the ugly queen, and the ugly princess with long noses, the troll witches, the four winds, and the troll masks. In a semicircle, there are granite tactile sculptures with different reliefs.

Zygote

Christmas Møllers Plads was named after the conservative party leader John Christmas Møller, who served as the country's Foreign Minister immediately after the occupation in WW2. Christmas Møller openly criticized the policy of collaboration and called for national resistance against the occupying forces.

The artist Sophia Kalkau: "Zygote engages in a dialogue with the history of the square, and the word "Zygote" derives from the Greek "zygon," meaning yoke or harness. A yoke is a device that allows heavier weights to be carried than would otherwise be possible alone, because the load is distributed evenly. In other words, when we use the yoke correctly, the burden becomes easier to bear, especially when something binds us together."
