crowd XIII 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 daily life. To what extent does it still affect you? This painted 'wallpaper" showes the crowd approaching in one long continued motion. Painted with the controlled directness of Chinese ink drawings.
