Disparity Between Groups of People


Some people are lucky - they have everything. Others feel alienated from the mainstream - because of economic or health reasons... Handicapped people are one group that is feeling left out...


"The rich people live in beautifully coloured houses with flowers in their gardens. They have a gorgeous view on the lake. Their houses are ornate with windows from where lights shine through. They are having a good time, they are having parties. You can almost hear the music from where you stand. The poor people are just in black and white houses, and shades of grey in between and no gardens. There are no windows in the poor houses, their outlook is bleak. The painting compares wealth and poverty and poses questions: "will the rich people help their poor neighbours?" "Will they actually fish in the lake for them?""

This is of course an homage to Hundertwasser...
