WE MAKE THINGS HAPPENThe Wintershall Norge Art Collection 2013

Bergen office

5

The purpose of Wintershall’s art program Wintershall has over a long period supported art, and used it as a source of joy, inspiration and provocation. Good art invites us to really see ourselves – if we dare.

In Kassel, our headquarters hometown, Documenta, the world’s most important exhibition of modern and contemporary art takes place every five years, and lasts 100 days. Since the beginning in 1955, it has grown from 135 000 visitors to 860 000 in 2012. This shows the importance and power of art.

Our Art Program, as seen in our main office in Norway, consists of 51 different works of art made by 24 different artists. This is art of high quality, showing different and new techniques and modes of expression. Many of these pieces have been specially made for us.

We are happy now to include our new Wintershall Bergen office in our growing Art Program. In Bergen we have a variety of 31 pieces of art made by 21 different artists.

Our intention is to use the art in an interactive way to contribute to our personal development and to our company’s growth as a whole. We want our art to stimulate our senses, challenge and provoke. At the same time we believe our interaction with art will also confirm and build our identity, and contribute to more cour-age in our creative and professional hunt for unique values in the process of creating profit and building our company’s culture.

DOLK

(b. 1979, Bergen, Norway)

Dolk Lundgrenis a Norwegian artist, reputedly among the ten most popular stencil artists worldwide. He was first introduced via Wooster Collective and Pictures on Walls (POW). It was originally speculated that Dolk, which means dagger or knife in Norwegian, was a pseudonym for Banksy, the famous stencil artist from Bristol. The artist remains anonymous and little is known about his true identity. His works have been exhibited globally in cities such as New York, London, Berlin, Bristol, Oslo, Stavanger and now finally in Bergen.

PØBEL

Pøbel; (meaning: roughly, hooligan) is a pseudonymous Norwegian street artist based in Stavanger. He is best known for the Getto spedalsk (Ghetto leperous) project, decorating abandoned buildings in at the Lofoten islands in the north of Norway, along with notable collaborator “Dolk”. Both were later commissioned to decorate the central railway stations in both Oslo and Trondheim.

Also known for his project “terra Nullius” (streetart in nowhere land)

One of Norway’s foremost street artists. His work all over Europe has been documented in a number of books on the subject. His stencil paintings are mostly sight gags.

One series, for example, portrays superheroes such as Superman and Batman in decrepit old age.

He is probably the first artist who have painted a project on a dead spermwhale.

Pøbels age and real name is not officially known.
