Art from North Funen in Bogense Water Tower

Visit the Bogense Water Tower and experience 20 exciting works from 2 North Funen artists, each with their own artistic expression.

Lis Bo Nielsen has been painting for many years and received instruction from the late painter Knud Søgård. Colors are a central driving force in her work, where she uses broad brushstrokes and spatula techniques to create energy in her paintings. She paints both abstract and naturalistic and finds great joy and energy in the painting process itself.

Ida Stuhr Olsen is a newer artist who strives to create works that touch others. The inspiration springs from the diversity of life, its symbolic layers, the challenging moments, and especially the beautiful and meaningful. The works are a fusion of inner feelings and external influences from nature, wildlife, fellow human beings, and the contrasts of life.

Bogense and Kattegat from above

You also get the opportunity to see Bogense and Kattegat from above. You can go up the many steps in the water tower's narrow staircase and go out onto the viewing platform. From here you can see far over both the cozy old market town and the sparkling sea with the many small islands.

You can see more beautiful aerial photos by Jesper Larsen at the outdoor exhibition at Østre Mole in Bogense.

Bogense Water Tower

Bogense Water Tower was inaugurated on 24 November 1910 in connection with the commissioning of the town's waterworks.
The tower is about 16 meters high and the diameter is about 8 meters. The tower was designed by architect Gundlach-Petersen and is a smaller version of the water tower in Fredericia built in 1909. The water tower's water pipes were definitively closed in 1996, and today the tower is used as an exhibition venue - and when it is open, you can also enjoy the magnificent view from there.
