Jane Mikolajewicz

A multi material artist and fond of shapes, Jane likes to be open whether working in paint or ceramics.
For Jane with the signature MIKO, her thoughts were to pay tribute to the culture in Løkken – and her words of inspiration for the big wall on Erik Larsen’s path were heat, sun, wind, seagulls, fish bathers, ball games and children. Also as a sign of the times, corona virus has had a little mention on the wall too. Signs and decorative stones in Jane’s characteristic style can also be found along the trail.

She is fond of using pastels and is inspired by the light and marine environment of the area, with it’s landmarks appearing in her ceramics, oil paintings and other works.

You will find a lot of larger works by Britta on the school grounds; and her ability to paint seas of flowers is shown on the large adventure wall on Erik Larsen’s path. She is also the woman behind lots of decorated stones in the same style.

Jørgen Ussing

Jørgen is a drawing and watercolour master as well as an architect on the side. His long held creative life has resulted in a clear eye for details in naturalistic colours. This, mixed with a love for local history and good food, has resulted in countless artistic initiatives and products for the town.

In the project, Jørgen has been the producer of a painted school of fish on the wall behind Nørretorv, and so he can now also officially add the title of ‘street artist’ to his repertoire.

A painter and gallery owner based in Løkken, John appreciates the little details in his re-production of nature, and the Løkken scenery that unfolds right before his eyes. John is the artist behind a couple of older murals in the area (window and sea), and paints with oil; preferably in real time, painting on location right where nature plays out its wonders. He won’t finish a piece until it looks just as he can see it with his own eyes. For this project John has painted two more murals along the secret paths.

All subjects can potentially form part of their collective creativity.
