Now the area has been completely transformed:
The collaboration between Just IL, the artists and the municipality resulted in a brand new decoration of an otherwise boring and gray concrete wall. The parties are very satisfied with the result, e.g. professional worker at the sports agency in Kristiansand municipal
together with the artists Arne Vilhelm Tellefsen and Gustav "Szabotage" Szabo and Szabo's wife and project manager, Hannah Smith.
The collaboration between the municipality, the football team and the artists was a success. Now Justvik football field has a new look. - Fantastic! -
- We have also built the wall as a kind of goal, where the children can practice kicking football, says the Briton.
The children have also been inspired by the slogan of the sports brand Nike, and created their version <<Just IL it!» Photo: Emilie Zeiner Sending Larsen
He has been inspired by the Norwegian and southern surroundings, which he experienced for the first time on this visit to Norway.
Football is the main theme, but I wanted to include everything that I saw around Justvik, such as the trees and the sea nearby.
It is a combination of the people and
nature, he adds.
The artwork is quite an eye-catcher with strong colours, several motifs and a large landscape. Photo: Emilie Zeiner Sending Larsen
- I hope that the artwork will become a talking point among those who may not normally play football here. "Shall we go to the football pitch with the whales", says Szabo as an example and smiles.
