Axel Ebbe was an artist born in Hököpinge who became a respected sculptor, writer, and graphic artist. The beauty is juxtaposed with something slightly unsettling or imaginative. For Axel Ebbe, the idea behind the works was almost more important than the result itself, and the titles are always well thought out and precise. Liselott Hylén, art Superintendent Trelleborgs Museum.
In one hand, she holds a flame. Beauty meets discomfort once again. A wandering spirit that did as much good as harm in life and therefore neither went to heaven nor hell. The beautiful, graceful female figures stand in sharp contrast to the discomforting presence. The boyish figure is attempting to grasp the tail of one of the mermaids and pull her towards him while she tries to stay on the rocky ledge.
Perhaps this is where Axel Ebbe drew the title of the artwork? The Nixie embodied various dangers in waterways and sometimes tried to lure people to drown them. The fountain sculpture also exists as a public artwork in Hässleholm. They tug and pull at a toy — a small sphere representing the globe. The demon holds the sphere close to its body, while the angelic child tries with all its might to pull it towards itself.
A struggle between good and evil. Standing at 4 meters high, and if the sea serpent could stretch out, it would be a whopping 50 meters long. A fair mermaid with flowing hair struggles to master a lively sea serpent, whose long slender body swirls around and forms the shape of the fountain. The sculpture guarding the entrance to the art gallery could, with effective lighting in the evening, scare even the bravest.
Far back in time, animals were sacrificed during the construction of churches and sanctuaries to provide protection to the building at night — a church grim. Did Axel Ebbe want to protect his sanctuary? Fortunately, no animal had to sacrifice its life here, but a church grim was created. Here, in the form of a winged creature that is a mixture of a gargoyle and a ram. The art gallery was inaugurated in , and Axel Ebbe himself was involved in its design together with the architect Carl-Axel Stoltz.
