Grense Jakobselv av Sverre Wyller, Copperhill Mountain Lodge, Pre

Paintings, Sverre Wyller

In the lounge bar you will find three paintings by Norwegian artist Sverre Wyller (born 1953). They are painted on road signs, produced just like ordinary tin signs along the roads, but with Sverre's new texts and symbols.

The blue paintings bear the geographical names Kiruna – Narvik, a pair of words that describe both distance and connection, kind of like Romeo and Juliet. The yellow sign bear the words Grense Jakobselv, which is Norway's border point to Russia, in the very north. Copperhill is located on the top of Åre-Björnen, in the end of the road. Thus the road signs remind us about travelling, arriving to this unique hotel and departing.
