Best of all

The blue flower of Lululu show,
A mural grand, a magic flow,
Nineteen meters, infinite sprawl,
A curtain's dance, a painter's call.

Dynamic strokes, on paper's swell,
Heavy hues, in waves they dwell,
Moisture's touch, weighty might,
Creates a scene, both dark and light.

Before this wall, canvases lie,
With gentle gradients, they catch the eye,
Organic shapes, in abstract flight,
Nature's whispers, in colors bright.

"Lululu", a phrase so free,
A whistle, a hum, a jubilee,
Spontaneous joy, or a catchy tune,
In every context, it finds its boon.

And within this exhibition's realm,
Diverse styles take the helm,
Drip and action, surreal dreams,
A kaleidoscope of artistic themes.

So, "Lululu" leads the way,
To an island where artists play,
Amidst crashing waves, and skies of blue,
A haven awaits, just for you.

Under palm or flower's gaze,
Jeppe Hein's smile, a welcome blaze,
Inhale deeply, let worries flee,
For "Lululu" sets your spirit free.
