The Dutch embassy in Paris commissioned this mural at the Drawing Now art fair in Paris.
‘L’homme fluide’, mixed media on paper (pencil, acrylic ink, felt pen, crayon, acrylic paint), 300 x 477,5 cm, 2022, overview photo by Bob Goedewaagen

The build-up of the work, with rectangular elements overlapping, reminds of a computer desktop with open pages  in which a variety of perspectives on one subject can be seen. The viewer skips from one perspective to the next. 
Reflecting on harsh oppositions in society, at the left side of the drawing, you see people locked up in their own anger, people made of granite, people who do not want to move, flow or change. From there on, walking legs, flowing heads and liquid bodies take the viewer to the right, where it is fluid. There, figures with elastic limbs stretch their arms in order to hesitantly shake hands. Personae are chopped into pieces, transform themselves, reshape themselves.
