Thomas Eggerer

'The North Face' belongs to a series of paintings, which present scenes of protest. The figures hold signs and wave flags, though their gestures appear directed toward an undefined viewer. The flags billow freely, suggesting movement and energy, while the figures beneath appear static, their limbs awkwardly positioned as if loosely attached. Also here the focus shifts from individual figures to the orchestrated arrangement of movements, while the groupings and subtle variations suggest underlying bonds of community and collective presence. This approach not only adds to the visual complexity of Eggerer's paintings, but also reflects his interest in the fragmented nature of contemporary social experiences.
