Gouache n# 05

Beijing. Fall 2001 Gouache/paper 55 x 65 cm.

China undergoes a wild urbanization. Traditional buildings are demolished one after another. You just can't start to imagine the amplitude of the disaster if you did not see it for yourself.
It's not only one building after another that they put down, it's one block after another that disappears to make way for ugly concrete boxes where people will be living as chicken in their batteries.
The Chinese, all around their country, are creating for themselves a concrete jungle inferno.  The awakening, one or two generations later, shall be rude. But nobody shall be called to account for this stupidity...
