Pan Liping (A Geng)

20 November 2014 | Tagi: , , , , ,

An encounter between generations, cultures and artistic visions. The systematic geometric structures of Edeltraut Rath from Germany and the spontaneity of Pan Li Ping from China meet on a wall in Nagórskiego Street. The result is a mural which really should be viewed in the full sunlight of the afternoon.

A Hero of Labour from the Age of Consumption wanders through a flowery meadow pushing a bottomless shopping trolley. The mural deliberately recalls the style of socialist-realist propaganda. Interestingly, the woman in the mural is headed straight for a shopping mall built from a converted hangar on Żwirki i Wigury Street, where Gdańsk Wrzeszcz airport terminal was located until 1974.

Jub Mönster

The modest caretaker sweeping the wall of a block on Dywizjonu 303 Street is in fact the neighbour of Jub Mönster, a Bremen lawyer who begins the day with a ritual sweeping of the street in front of his house. The shadow of the sweeper has been painted in such a way as to create an illusion on a sunny morning, when all the sweepers in the world take to the streets with their brooms.

Edeltraut Rath

The second mural to recall the historic concert in the Rudy Kot club. The German artist takes us back to the 1950s, using a colour scheme and print styles straight from the early years of Rock’n’Roll. The painter’s journey in time was made easier by one resident of Skarżyńskiego Street, who, through an open window, played a Rhythm’n’Blues band, which Franciszek Walicki put on the stage of the Rudy Kot on 24th March 1959 .

The German artist’s mural is a patchwork of the European community, linked by the thin thread of economic interests. Another prophetic mural from the Monumental Art Collection. Events in subsequent years have shown on more than one occasion how fragile a community based on money is.
