Tax included
€53.00
Size: 40 x 50 cm / 15 x 20″
Framing: No Frame
This is "King of the Yard" – a motif with massive weight and a quirky personality.
In the middle of the picture he stands, stiff-backed, in short ochre trousers, a blue shirt, a black tie and a pair of sturdy boots. Behind him rises a blue-grey house, and above the town hangs a black moon. He is one of my father's crooked characters: a man who doesn't apologise for himself, who has stood his ground for years and intends to keep standing. There is humour in him, but also weight and pride.
With its whimsical surrealism and deep, muted colours – cool blues set against warm ochre – it is a classic example of the uncompromising style of Danish painter Aage Arbjerg. It is a work that refuses to go unnoticed, bringing instant edge and character to your home: a surreal statement piece of wall art that works beautifully in Scandinavian, mid-century and eclectic interiors.
This is an exclusive fine art print on canvas, made from the original painting in uncompromising quality that does full justice to the raw craftsmanship, the original brushstrokes and the lively texture of the canvas. Each print is produced close to you and shipped directly to your door.

Good to know before you order
To make sure you know exactly what you're getting, here are a few practical notes:
- Colours on screen: You are viewing the motif on a screen. Since colour reproduction, brightness and resolution vary from screen to screen, the colours and nuances of the physical canvas may differ slightly from what you see online.
- Inspiration and proportions: The room images showing the motif in a styled interior are created with AI for inspiration. They are for guidance only, and the proportions do not necessarily reflect the actual size of the canvas. Always go by the exact dimensions you select in the menu.

About Aage Arbjerg
Aage Arbjerg was born in 1948 in the Danish countryside and has painted for more than half a century. As a young man he studied under the Danish surrealist Sven Dalsgaard, and his psychedelic works from the late 1960s are still some of his most striking. Later he turned to landscapes, travelling to find what he calls "the colour of a place". In 2018 Randers Art Museum honoured him with a retrospective exhibition. Today I – his son – bring his work to new walls around the world.
