CCC's Street Art Contest #174 ~ ROA NARWHAL StreetArt find, plus an awesome statue in the park ~ Örebro SWEDEN 🇸🇪

Hi all 👋🏻

Today I take you to Sweden 🇸🇪 with my StreetArt and Statue find. I have left Sweden yesterday and arrived safely back in Ireland. I miss Sweden already, still so much more I would like to see there 😉
Here we see ”a great Narwhal mural from ROA” in #orebro ~ #SWEDEN 🇸🇪

I captured this #mural / #artwork and #statue 21 November 2023 in ÖREBRO. The Photographs in this post I took with my phone… 📱

Let’s have a look at my StreetArt and Statue find:

Work Created:… 2013

ROA on WIDEWALLS

I found the following;

The large mythical narwhal is the subject of Roa’s most recent mural in Örebro, Sweden for the OpenART 2013. Its fin appears to be snagged by a hook with the rope wrapped around its tale. The Inuit people have been harvesting narwals for over a thousand years for meat and Ivory which still continues to this day under certain hunting regulations.

In this website: Juxtapoz what is the source of the above text…

Let’s look at the other captures I have of this intriguing mural.

I didn’t have time to find out if I could reach the other side of the wall… to see the bottom part, but I captured it as good as I could 😊

For its age, this mural looks still in pretty great state 😎
To me… what the artist has portrayed; it’s sad in many ways. A strong message he sends out.

Later in the day I walked through the stadsparken / park of the city Örebro and found this awesome STATUE I just had to share with you all today 😎

The size was life like. 😊

“SILVERSURFAREN, artist: URBAN ENGSTRÖM 2006”

Another angle 😎
So many details… I was so lucky to find this statue.
I like it. It’s cool!

I found more information in the website of Örebro city in Swedish about this artwork ; Örebro - culture no English unfortunately, but you could translate if you want to check it out.

And here I want to say; that’s all for today’s #StreetArt post my friends. Until the next one! 👋🏻😎
Hope you enjoyed my #photos of this StreetArt find. #haveyoubeenhere
