The local artist Claus Frederiksen, aka BurnOn, has created an impressive mural of football legend Henning Jensen with support from Stigsborg P/S.
The artwork can be seen in the staircase and elevator shaft of the Mobility House at Stigsborg, facing north, leading from the street level all the way up to the Observation Terrace on the 6th floor, where you have a fantastic view over the new district of Stigsborg as well as the Limfjord, Aalborg, and Nørresundby.
BurnOn is known for creating high-quality art, including street art, gable and wall paintings, and paintings on canvas. His works always make an impression on the viewer, as they often present a recognizable and raw depiction of reality. In Stigsborg, BurnOn has been inspired by one magical photo titled "Duelo de titanes" at the request of Susanne and Michael (Ulla & Henning's children). Titans are giants, often referred to in Greek mythology, where they were considered pre-Olympic (football) gods!
The mural reflects the intense atmosphere and the relentless and hard-fought rivalry between F.C. Barcelona and Real Madrid C.F., which can be felt everywhere in Spain and the international football world, whenever these cult clubs face off in El Clásico. It's not just an ordinary football match, but rather a fierce and heroic battle for money, power, and honor!
BurnOn has captured that high-tension moment when Football Angel – Señor Jensen from Real Madrid F.C. – stares down and challenges none other than "Tarzan" Migueli from F.C. Barcelona right in the heat of the game. For a split second, Henning considers whether he should do a "panna" (tunnel) by playing the ball between "Tarzan's" legs or maybe dribble around him to "park" his personal marker and "overcoat"? "Tarzan" is likely focused only on how to tackle the unpredictable and deadly dangerous Dane as quickly and efficiently as possible, so he doesn't break free and score again?
