Dødens Eleksir (Death Potions), 1970
This mural painting is one of the Nordic gables designed in 1970.
The somewhat dark atmosphere is based on the artist's protest against the Vietnam War. The imaged molecules show very dangerous chemical compounds that have a lethal effect even in very small amounts.
