The drawing study or variation to the painting Black and White (1990) belongs together with a series of motivically related etchings with the central theme of man in the context of the social environment. The human figures are the most important element of the compositions; like mythical titans, they are charged with the power of the earth and hold whole worlds together or just stare silently. The drama of human existence gradually shifts from struggle to transformation and harmony. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
