"Watch the Ladies" from the series "Cities Unframed"
The artwork "Watch the Ladies" features four imposing towers that stand out prominently against a striking, aggressively bright orange background. The architecture of these towers reflects Brutalism, evoking a period of reconstruction and optimism, but also symbolizing boundaries and demonstrations of power. Today, these buildings appear as monuments, prompting reflection and demanding a certain vigilance—"Watch the ladies, be alert!"
The piece addresses major transformation processes within urban landscapes as well as geopolitical shifts. The painting style blends abstract and figurative elements; its expressive colors and bold presence create a space for resonance. The composition invites a multitude of thoughts: beauty and brutality, power and creation, freedom and limitation, and also the ongoing change of urbanity are all explored. The image emits a mixture of loneliness, silence, and simultaneous dynamism—a visual statement reflecting the transformation of our cities.
