Rabbit skin glue paint on canvas by Mormor

An energetic, vibrant, and highly distinctive original painting by acclaimed Danish artist Mormor. The artwork captures a bustling urban landscape through Mormor's signature bold black line-work set against a light backdrop, filled with whimsical characters, architectural motifs, and everyday city life. What sets this piece apart is its rich crackle-texture and subtle underlying red undertones, providing exceptional tactile depth and vintage patina.

A strikingly graphic and charismatic piece that brings narrative warmth, urban pulse, and enduring personality to any modern art collection.

Based in Copenhagen, Mormor started his career in an early age in the streets of his hometown of Aarhus. Today a lot of his pieces can be experienced on canvas or paper and is exhibited in Berlin, New York, Munich as well as in Copenhagen. 

The style of drawing is young, fresh and easy to recognize as an illustration by the hand of Mormor with its very personal expression: Buildings, cities, figures and several other images appear with the well-known line in various medias. With a playfull approach he keeps on challenging his media, exploring several techniques of painting and printing and never ending the process of constantly renewing himself as an artist. 

“I love to experiment and play with materials. To me it's essential to have some really strong ideas behind the pieces and try it out whether it's an illustration or a technique. I work with a lot of different people from private buyers to educational insitutions and art institutions. I suppose I just have this strong interest in people, creating art to the people and love to visualize their stories in my pieces.”
