Metropolis -
paintings 200x150 cm and 150x116 cm
The symbolization of our agressively dynamic society
Jan van Eden portrays men and women as part of the urbanised society - integrating the human figure with the architecture of the megalopolis - where the hard businesslike atmosphere competes with technical ingenuity. The architecture, rendered with mathematical precision and where no emotion appears to exist, contrasts sharply with the expressionistic freehand human faces and details of clothing, evoking luxury, glamour and sexuality.
Today's urban 'culture' has grown to Babylonian proportions and the future has become all the more unpredictable.
