In muted pastel shades, these five figures in bright flat Pop-sy colours with summary accentuations of forms show more singular individual action rather than the usual acting in unison, signifying a breather perhaps or that work need not be a full-throttle strenuous exercise. The sex of the figures can be ambiguous, clothed or unclothed or half-clothed, but is that relevant? |
