The Play

the play

The competition, the athletes, the aesthetics—each sport has its own iconic character. Sports
are small parallel worlds with their own rules and recognizable symbols. For many years,
I’ve watched from the sidelines (mostly on television) and last year as the world’s attention
turned to the Olympic Games in Paris, I became truly inspired to create the different pieces
that make up my latest exhibition “THE PLAY”. With the greatest respect and deepest
admiration, this exhibition is my tribute to all athletes who dedicate their lives to improving
their performance and achieving success.

“THE PLAY” is based on the formal silhouettes created when working with cut-outs. I had my
first exhibition as an artist in Copenhagen in 2014, but it wasn’t until I later visited New York
and saw an exhibition of cut outs that I realised just what could be achieved by working with
this method. “THE PLAY” is the result of this inspiration – an exhibition built around carefully
crafted cut-out motifs that depict selected sports, inviting viewers into each sport’s unique
framework.

GENERAL INFORMATION

All artworks are unique, original pieces individually hand-painted by Spangsberg. Each

artwork will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, attesting to its originality and

uniqueness. The certificate will be signed and dated by the artist.

The sale of all artworks will strictly follow to the “first come, first served” principle, where

the chronological order of email receipt establishes the priority for purchasing the

requested art piece. In cases where multiple prospective buyers express interest in the

same artwork, a buyers list will be compiled to facilitate a structured allocation process.

SALES INFORMATION

All payments are subject to a notification period of 5 business days. Please be advised

that if the payment is not received within the specified payment terms, we reserve the

right to offer the artwork to the next potential buyer on the list. Additionally, it is possibly to

submit requests for multiple artworks at the same time.
