This work carries the essence of Fitoloğlu's artistic philosophy: a painting made not between figure and abstraction, but on the very threshold where both are simultaneously valid. You can count many figures but cannot precisely show their boundaries; one face flows into another, one body passes into the texture of the next. The opposition of turquoise and orange works like a nervous vibration that gives movement to the painting. 'Every canvas is my attempt to capture the infinite within a single moment,' the artist says in his manifesto — in this work, that single moment is a crowd being at once plural and singular. This mid-scale work is one of the clearest examples of the artist's language-building in the collection.
