Dancing the Bumper Car Tango
Dancing the Bumper Car Tango
A lively collision of people and bumper cars becomes an unexpected dance. Riders twist, lean, brace themselves, and hang on while the figures carrying them weave together in a wonderfully chaotic choreography.
Dancing the Bumper Car Tango turns the familiar amusement-park ride into a playful metaphor for life. We steer where we can, collide with others, change direction unexpectedly, and sometimes discover that someone—or something—else is really carrying us along.
The exaggerated movement and bright colors give the painting a sense of humor, confusion, energy, and controlled chaos—a tango in which nobody seems entirely sure who is leading.
