Route: Art in Gørding

Oasen (The Oasis)

The granite sculpture was created by Leif Fogh Jakobsen. It combines different types of granite and geometric forms. The work explores contrasts in both material and symbolism, with a fountain highlighting the stone surfaces.

Stendråbe (Stone Drop)

The sculpture was created by Sten Bertelsen. It shows a stone on a base, leaving a drop and forming a new one. The work reflects on stone as a solid material and how both stone and life can take new forms.

Forvandling (Transformation)

The sculpture by Niels Aage Schmidt stands by the church tower at Gørding Church. The stone was acquired as a memorial for anonymous urn burials. Its form resembles a sprouting onion and reflects themes of death, faith, and rebirth.

Vejviser (Signpost)

The sculpture by Ian Newbery resembles a stone cross blocking access, while also taking the form of a cross. This duality creates contrasting meanings, and the title Signpost highlights its open interpretation.

Én Der Lytter til Folk (One Who Listens to People)

The sculpture by Niels Aage Schmidt lies curled on a granite bench with a hand to its ear. You can sit beside it and share stories of life’s ups and downs with the listening figure.
