Crowd IX Painting

A crowd in motion. Individuals connected by the same conditions, identical ideals, common driving forces. The group manifests itself as a whole, the individual disappears. Within the constant human crowd patterns emerge. Repetitive structures that call the association with wallpaper. This relationship is not only formal but also substantive. As within wallpapers, the repetitive, unchanging and endless of the continuous flow weakens the attention. You get used to it, it becomes part of your dayly life. To what extent does it still affect you? On the 10-meter-long paper rolls of Crowd IX, a crowd descent in one long continued motion. The double rhythm of the vertical lines of the people, and the horizontal lines of the staircases, the contrast of the constantly moving crowd and the solid, anchored stones. Silent landscape that witnesses capricious human interaction. These painted 'Wallpapers' also refer to the staircase of Odessa (now Ukraine) in the movie Battleship Potemkin of Sergei Eisenstein. There too a crowd of people descending from the stairs, initially cheerful and exuberant, a moment later frightened and anxious, chased by a next mass (soldiers shooting at them).
