Spyo Art Copenhagen

Political statements

Stefan from Copenhagen

About me My life starts and ends in Copenhagen. I moved out of the city when I was young, but after 10-15 years I found my way back to the same streets I grew up in. My work as an entrepreneur and event-manager lets me rediscover my city all the time from different angles. I love to discover new spots and keep an eye on the old ones. I try my best to be a part of sm...
"The art by anarchist Spyo can be seen around Copenhagen, covering the walls of government buildings with political statements that will make you think..."

Is it art? Or vandalism to the government's property? 

What the anarchist Spyo is doing around Copenhagen is for sure powerful statements towards the system and our way of living within the system and the rules of society.
Something I think, we should all learn from and think about.

His choice of weapon is words painted in capital letters -- short sentences with strong and provocative messages to the readers. Illegal paintings on the very top of house walls, on buildings and other fronts in the city.

He is shouting out statements like "you are only free within the system", "one man's trash, another man's treasure" and "fuck the norm".

Many of the pieces are in Danish, but just as many are in English (maybe!?) so if you see one on your way around town, think it over. It might resonate with you?

Spyo's art is all over the city, so look up from your phone and your Spotted by Locals app once in a while.

I try my best to be a part of small communities and learn from other cultures. Why Copenhagen? As I love to travel to other countries, it's also important for me to travel in my own country. I never get tired of w...

Naturpark Amager

Nature within reach

"Naturpark Amager" in Copenhagen is an area of 3,000 acres of protected nature. It's quite unique for a capital to have such a reserve within city limits!

Det Vide Hus

Hidden café gem in plain sight!

Det Vide Hus is super affordable, extra cosy (or hygge as we’d say in Danish), with one of the best coffees in the city & a great selection of Danish pastry!

Airtrix Trampolinpark

Jump for joy

I’d recommend the 2-hour AirCombi, which will give you 1 hour of climbing and 1 hour of jumping – if you’re doing it right, you will be sweaty and wobbly.
