Every year Tivoli Amusement Park (or simply Tivoli) lets a Danish artist design the poster art for the coming season. The art for the poster of 1994 was created by Knud Odde (1955). Odde was trained librarian in 1978 and played in a punk group. As an artist he is self-taught and is operating with a strong symbolic language and an expressive form.
Many of Odde works have a very naturalistic character, almost cartoon-like expression. In his painting are often portraits of famous people, like Shirley MacLaine, Rainer Maria Rilke, Patti Smith and Miles Davis where the images with stark colors with knots and edges pointing in the direction of suppressed emotions and conflicts. With these images we also detect an inspiration from 1960s pop art of Andy Warhol, among others, however, were much more smoothly in the expression.
Tivoli is one of the world most famous amusement parks. The park is the second oldest amusement park in the world and is based in Copenhagen, Denmark and is by far the most visited spot in Scandinavia.
