Artwork Description

Dance Marathon

110.0 x 80.0 cm

In this artwork, I've utilized oil, India ink, and oil pastel on paper to delve into the raw, unfiltered essence of human endurance and emotion. My approach in expressionism and a figurative style, with a touch of symbolism, captures the gritty vigor and resilience of the human spirit. This piece vibrates with energy and would invigorate any space, infusing it with a sense of life's unstoppable rhythm. Dance Marathon displays a mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members' strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action. This work about the dance marathon phenomena alludes to the modern dance party and references the hysteria of the "Dance Plague" of 1518 by Breugel. Oil, Ink, pastel on primed water colour paper. Needs framing to hang. USD$2400 incl shipping and wrapping
