The artwork, titled “Houses In Motion,” is a 1999 figurative piece by artist Jennifer Bartlett. It depicts various small houses in a vibrant, dynamic scene, characterized by motion and a sense of chaos.
In the artwork, numerous houses are scattered across a colorful, grassy landscape, set against a vivid sky. The houses appear to be in various states of movement or disarray—some are cracking open, others are engulfed in flames, and many are seemingly floating or being thrown into the sky. Interspersed among the houses are human-like figures, also rendered in motion, adding to the overall energy and tumultuous atmosphere of the piece. The use of bright, contrasting colors and the intricate, almost mosaic-like patterning lends a sense of depth and complexity. Overall, the composition and vibrant execution communicate a sense of upheaval and transformation.
