Litt info om Pøbel:

He first came to national prominence in Norway in the mid-2000s for decorating abandoned buildings in the Lofoten islands in the north of Norway, bringing an urban street art phenomenon into rural areas and nature, thus sparking a debate on the meaning of "street art".[1] Since then he has been involved in numerous art projects and also successfully released gallery works.

Early career

edit

Pøbel started by teaching himself stencil techniques and started painting in 1999.[2] Some of his first works appeared in Norway in the city of Stavanger and later Bergen. In 2006, he created some controversy when he spray-painted on a dead sperm whale that had stranded and was rotting on the shore in Eggum, Lofoten.[3] In 2008 he participated in Banksy's Cans Festival exhibition

Work in Lofoten

edit

In 2006 in Lofoten, he started the art project "Øde dekor" ("Desolate decorations") together with a friend named Olav Kvalnes.[6]

The "Øde dekor" project was originally intended as a situational prank; only one house was painted to start with, then a catalog of abandoned buildings with non-existent art work superimposed on the walls was to be distributed, to lure both tourists and locals to far-away sites where they would only find crumbling old houses. The idea was to make people think about the meaning of the empty buildings and the depopulation of rural northern Norway. Kvalnes' acceptance into architecture school meant the project was never finished. However, Pøbel decided to go ahead on his own and actually paint the houses.
