Strit træfigur

Hans Bølling skabte i 1953 figuren Strit som kan ændre udtryk ved at dreje på de forskellige dele og vise sorg, glæde, nedtrykthed, optimisme mm. Hans Bølling blev født i Brabrand i 1931, og startede eget værksted i 1955. Efterfølgende uddannede Hans Bølling sig på Det Kongelige danske Kunstakademi for finere kunst. Siden har Hans Bølling haft stor fremgang som arkitekt, og fremstillet alt fra brugskunst til store villaer, boligblokke samt et rådhus.
As adults, it is sometimes hard not to take ourselves so seriously. With our busy grown up lives there is often little time for reflection, self-irony and play. Strit is here to change that. Deceptively straight forward, he embodies a very typically Danish quality of self-irony, which helps to bring light even into the darkest of days. Sometimes, we need to be reminded that everything is not as important and far reaching as it may immediately appear. With his mobile body, you can arrange him into any position desirable, allowing him to express anything from surprise to concern and everything in between. And remember, he insists that he is not a troll!
