Artist: Dante
Festival: Niko Movement
Year: 2024
Location: Tbilisi
Adress: Tskneti highway
Category: Large Scale Mural
Topics: Art, Individuum, Literature, Music, Society

The mural is inspired by the song Pigs on the Wing (Part 1) from Pink Floyd’s 1977 album "Animals", which is thematically based on George Orwell's "Animal Farm."

The opening track, "Pigs on the Wing (Part 1)," forms a calm and personal contrast to the rest of the album. It deals with closeness, trust, and emotional protection in a world shaped by abuse of power, greed, and social alienation.

The mural "Pigs on the Wing (Part 1)" is the second of five planned artworks in the series. The first mural, "Sheep," was created a few weeks earlier as part of the Calle Libre Festival in Vienna.

Das Mural ist inspiriert von dem Song Pigs on the Wing (Part 1) aus dem 1977 erschienenen Album "Animals" von Pink Floyd, das sich thematisch an George Orwells "Farm der Tiere" orientiert.

Der eröffnende Track "Pigs on the Wing (Part 1)" bildet einen ruhigen, persönlichen Gegenpol zum restlichen Album. Er handelt von Nähe, Vertrauen und emotionalem Schutz in einer Welt, die von Machtmissbrauch, Gier und sozialer Kälte geprägt ist.

Das Mural "Pigs on the Wing (Part 1)" ist das zweite von insgesamt fünf geplanten Werken. Das erste Mural "Sheep" entstand wenige Wochen vorher im Rahmen des Calle Libre Festivals in Wien.
