Koldinghus Castle Ruin, Asbjorn Lonvig. Celebrating the World of Art Award by offering huge serigraphs on canvas.
By Poul Dedenroth-Schou, director of the museum:
Koldinghus - Jutland's last royal castle - has played an important role in the history of Denmark throughout the more than 700 years of its existence. It has served as a part of the border defences, as a royal residence, and as the seat of the local representatives of the Danish central government. Following the disastrous fire of 1808, the castle ruin attracted considerable attention as a picturesque ruin, providing a popular source of inspiration for artists and poets. For more than a century, the ruin has been the object of restoration programmes and gradual conversion to a museum of cultural history and a venue for cultural activities.

China Four - Divinity, Asbjorn Lonvig. Celebrating the World of Art Award by offering huge serigraphs on canvas.
Inspired by Outside the Wild Goose Pagoda in Xian I had this experience of being a foreigner. Having another cultural background. Meeting people with another cultural background. Jakob - my youngest son - was 10 years of age. His hear was blond. Crew cut. I was big. With a red blond bird.
The Chinese crowded around us. Friendly. Smiling. With their bikes.
They wanted to touch Jakob.
Exactly at that moment somebody told me what Chinese people thought about our traveling in China:
"Why don't they stay home and spare the money - and buy a bike.
Or a refrigerator?"
I have put an extra store or more on the Chinese buildings
The Chinese are closer to divinity.

Napoleon called the Piazza San Marco "the finest drawing room in Europe."

Aros Art Museum, Asbjorn Lonvig. Celebrating the World of Art Award by offering huge serigraphs on canvas.
Aros Art Museum in Aarhus, Denmark. At the moment you enter the lounge, your breath is taken away. Where am I? I'm totally confused. Suddenly I am indeed not in the middle of nowhere. I'm in New York. And the architect is renowned Frank Lloyd Wright. I'm at 1071 Fifth Avenue at 89th Street in New York. 1071 Fifth Avenue at 89th Street in New York is of course the address of Guggenheim Museum. Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece on Fifth Avenue was built in 1959.

St. Michaelis Chuch, Asbjorn Lonvig. Celebrating the World of Art Award by offering huge serigraphs on canvas.
Fredericia City in Denmark is originally a fortification. With a great history.
I'll make a series of art works from Fredericia. A few days ago I talked to the Mayor of Fredericia, who liked this thought. He suggested that I talked to the chief of Fredericia Museum. This meeting is 29 November 2005 - and that's the point of depature for this project.
In Fredericia Fortification, inside the ramparts it was not allowed to build towers on churches.
Sct. Michaelis Chuch was no exception.

Octo-Pus the Cuttlefish, Asbjorn Lonvig. Celebrating the World of Art Award by offering huge serigraphs on canvas.
Inspired by joy of making motifs that communicate in a very simple way.
One beautiful evening I sat at a restaurant in Venice at the brink of Grand Canal. I ordered cuttlefish. Honestly I did not know, what it was. It tasted like rubber in an ink stew.
I know now what a cuttlefish is.
And then of cause Octo-Pus is the main character in the children's book "The cuttlefish Octo-Pus and the crab Crab-Mac-Claw".
Comments from fellow artists and ArtWanted.com visitors:
Very well done
I love the eyes.

Crab-Mac-Claw, Asbjorn Lonvig. Celebrating the World of Art Award by offering huge serigraphs on canvas.
Inspired from my love to the sea, my past as a crab catcher, from the joy of making motifs that communicate in a very simple way.
If you see the name No-Crap - it is the prior name of Crab-Mac-Claw. The second time a translator told me, that he could not be called No-Crap in American English - I gave in.
At the exhibition "International Contemporary Exhibition" in Rome I met Jose Dali.
Son of Salvador Dalí.
Jose Dali exhibited motifs from Venice, where he lives, and I showed anything I had.
I gave Jose a letter in Italian, which was intended to all Italians and all Romans.
At the bottom of this letter there was a poster from the LUCCA project.
He saw Crab-Mac-Claw.
He laughed, and laughed, and laughed.............sincerely.
He became so happy.
From that moment I knew, that Crap-Mac-Claw is a lochey star in my prodction.
He had just been renamed from No-Crap to Crab-Mac-Claw.
Crab-Mac-Claw will probably become the new logo of my world wide fairy tale activities.
On my way home - in the airport of Rome - I bought a huge book. Salvador Dalí - la vita e l'opera. I had to know more about Jose's father. Jose's background.
I still can't imagine why Jose paints tiny naturalistic watercolor pictures with motifs from Venice?
The only resemblence to Salvador Dalí is Jose's bird!!!!!
And then of cause Crab-Mac-Claw is the main character in the children's book "The cuttlefish Octo-Pus and the crab Crab-Mac-Claw".
