MARC MENDELSON - HAPPY METRO TO YOU

SOME CULTURE...

Artwork

The sculptor wanted to bring a bit of sunshine, an amusing and festive atmosphere to the many civil servants and employees who often pass through the Parc neighbourhood, where mainly very serious offices, government services, ministries and institutions are to be found. His aim was to offer passengers a funny, witty, laid-back and playful work of art thanks to amusing, easily readable associations and little figures in white wood. He did not want to confront the metro passenger with a work of art requiring a lot of concentration. The panel represents little people who are going back to work after the holidays. Most of these characters who rush along the metro corridors are still half asleep and surprised.
