Wall composition on cement tiles (2007)

The work of art is made of multicoloured cement tiles applied to the wall. The designs on these tiles form a repetitive motif that makes us think of tiles, carpets, blankets and wallpaper. We find similar motifs throughout the centuries in houses in all sorts of different cultures. The fact that this motif is recognisable for so many people gives the passenger a very reassuring feeling. The tiles are made in the traditional way, in resistant materials, and are applied in a pattern, to two identical walls. The joints between the tiles are all the same colour, and they form a frame that decorates the whole work of art. The colour of the floor and the environment match the work of art in order to optimise its integration into the station.
