Four large, imaginative figures stand close together against a black background in “The manifold lineup” by Susanne Butcher. Swirling eyes, striking mouths and shifting proportions define their faces. Turquoise, green, pink and burgundy fields meet vivid yellow and white strokes that shine between the dark contours.
The figures overlap, their bodies and costumes connected by long drips, fine lines and dense patterns. A broad, tooth-like mouth appears on the left, while a pale figure further to the right has a dark blue crescent shape around one eye. A large, fan-shaped field of white and yellow spreads through the lower centre, providing a luminous counterpoint to the richly coloured areas around it.
The work can be experienced as a group portrait in which each figure has a distinct expression while sharing a lively pictorial space. Large eyes and numerous graphic marks invite the viewer to move from face to face. The monumental, wide 280 × 200 cm format gives the figures a striking presence and offers room for both broad movements of colour and small details.
