Art Auction!
So the art auction is upon us now! I have counted that I have around 85 artworks going into this auction. Needless to say many of them are small sketches and you won’t need to bid for them – just pay £5-15 and whip them away. It is an interesting process to go through – […]
The Masked Painter Returned
Just a quick note and a few photos: I did not enter Den Frie’s Open Autumn Exhibition (Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling) this year because my absolute biggest art challenge that I could have undertaken was rejected in the first round – my Otto Frello portrait. So when that happens, you know that this is not a place […]

Free Cultural Spaces, Art and a birthday in Christiania
I was involved in an event called Symposium for Free Cultural Spaces, which was held in Christiania this year. I brought the paintings I had painted in front of the parliament in Copenhagen to the venue and added an installation made from empty tea light holders. They have been sewn together and painted in hope’s […]
Art Auction at St Margaret’s House, Edinburgh!
AN ART AUCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE – LEAH MERETE ROBB What’s up for Auction? Over the years, I have varied my approach to art-making quite dramatically, ranging from figure drawings to psychological portraiture, from film-making to political street art.

Within this theme come knowledge and understanding, justice and love. http://www.gallopperiet.dk/?cat=12 This painting was painted outside the […]
In The Red Corner

The Scottish/Danish multi-artist explains why.” Hekla Hekla 2) On the 11th September I remember back to last year when I submitted five biographical portraits […]
Protestaktion udenfor Den Frie/Protest Action outside Den Frie
I det Røde Hjørne “En ung håbefuld kunstner (med maske) stod udenfor til efterårsudstillingens1 fernisering og malede et billede. Her fortæller den skotsk/danske multikunstner hvorfor.” Hekla Hekla2 Den 11. september husker jeg tilbage på forrige år, hvor jeg indsendte fem biografiske portrætter til KE. Alt hvad jeg indsendte blev afvist uden mulighed for tilbagemelding. […]
Emotion series 2
After the Frelloist portrait it has been hard to get back into painting. Painting The Frelloist/Frelloisten drained me because it was like cracking a really, really hard code, or like spewing everything you are and have into one performanc,e or like fighting goliath. Nothing but your best will do. Regardless of the reception of the work, […]
