Description

Description translated from the flyer:

The Swiss artist created a very cheerful, human work. Flanked by angels, people and animals, the visitor enters the old town at the Holschen Gate. His characters seem to want to storm the beautiful city of Hattingen. They don't let the mighty city wall stop them either. They enter the old town with bags and baggage - if necessary also over the wall.
The highly differentiated figures made of galvanized steel tempt the visitor to take a closer look every day. You always discover new details and references. The work is full of symbolism. The material appears in different surfaces in changing light conditions or artificially illuminated at night. This gives the work of art additional appeal. Urs Dickerhof is one of the Swiss artists whose work is decisively influenced by Pop Art.
