“This is powerful art. It is almost impossible not to be swept off one’s feet:
You can see the passion both in colours and in the stroke of the brush.”
– by Thorkild Brunsberg, Centre of Danish Libraries.

“This is what people generally understand by genuine painting,
and so it rebellious in a liberating manner. ”
-by Peter Michael Hornung, the Danish newspaper “Politiken”.

“Ole Lindboe’s book “The Red Room” describes all thoughts and
along with the wonderful pictures you just immerse into the book
and forget about the surroundings.”
– by Juul, the Danish art paper “Kunstavisen”.

“Gunleif Grube sticks to the expressive painting and
he does so to the very last drop of blood.”
– by the Danish newspapers “Midtjyllands Avis”.
