Copenhagen attracts a lot of skateboarders and the standard is very strong. Professionals from around the world visit the capital city to explore the famous urban landscape and bowls:
I respect skateboarding due to how much it has influenced fashion, photography, music and film. The world looks to Copenhagen for the best in design, architecture and fashion and I visited a lot of galleries and museums. I enjoyed walking around the city and exploring the architecture, especially in the older areas of the city.
Louisiana
Visited the famous Louisiana Museum of Modern Art that houses work from famous contemporary artists and sculptors such as David Hockney, Giacometti, Warhol, Albers, Lichtenstein, Picasso and Ives Klein.
I was familiar with Klein's work and how he explored the 'perfect blue' - I was lucky enough to see this famous piece which allowed me to study Klein's famous brush strokes. Seeing art in a gallery is a lot more inspiring than seeing it on a screen because I'm able to see scale, technique and texture.
Josef Albers
Albers' use of colour, shape and space can be seen at the Louisiana gallery which is better suited for Albers' work because they are so large. I want to use Albers' work to influence my colour choices because I struggle to find palettes that connotes a certain emotion and are still harmonious.
The gallery introduced me to a lot of artists that I can use as inspiration for graphic design. This gallery was in a stunning location, spread around a large area which meant walking from galleries and sculptures was inspiring. The sheer amount of work and range of styles and techniques meant there was always something interesting to see. I would highly recommend visiting this gallery to anyone interested in contemporary art.
I would highly recommend visiting Copenhagen and going to see the Louisiana because it's a very inspiring place for anyone with an interest in contemporary design.
