One of his most famous images…often called the Banksy of Norway. Dolk has moved to an odd “scratch art” style, which does not appeal to me. His earlier stencil/based work still holds up!
Dolk (pseudonym of Andreas Hamran Færø, also known as Dolk Lundgren) is Norway’s most prominent stencil street artist, born in 1979 in Bergen, where he grew up. Before turning to art, he trained as a mechanic in Bergen and later studied graphic design in Melbourne, Australia. Inspired by the British street artist Banksy, Dolk began creating stencil works in 2003, drawn to the medium’s raw, quick, and impactful style—often in stark black-and-white contrasts that allow for rapid execution on urban surfaces. His pseudonym “Dolk” translates to “dagger” in Norwegian, reflecting the sharp, cutting edge of his satirical commentary.
