A few black strokes and dots create three strange creatures and much more. The one seems to look knowingly over, the other, behind the protective shoulder of the first, seems to look with astonishment into our world, the third just stands there. They belong to their world and await what we plan against them. Their world is first of all the world of pictures where there are no anatomy and pleats or racial characteristics but only black contours, black dots and deep colors. But it is also a human world in which they belong together like brothers of a separate family, like young people of an exotic tribe whose form and language allows no contact with our world. All this expressed through strict pictorial means, the black borders are fences which separate that world from ours and only because there are vivid colors behind and staring eyes and a strange oscillating headdress, a silent feeling passes to and fro.
