The crowd of people are going wild, some are jumping, others are throwing the glass of beer they were holding in their hands a short while ago towards the stage, the slimmer ones are ducking because they know what they are up against. The music creates a moment of suspension and expectation, anticipating a violent and liberating pogo, during which the bodies will collide, creating an energetic tide. This precise moment is captured in a hyper-realistic way by artist Dan Witz, with oil paintings that convey the heat of the crowd and sweaty bodies..

The subjects portrayed emerge from the darkness of the clubs, as if illuminated by the headlights of a stage or the flash of some photographer. No one can get a clear picture of themselves dancing or singing at the top of their lungs under the stage, Dan Witz portrays free spirits completely abandoned to the flow of the music, their eyes closed or teeth clenched in an expression of coordinated animal strength.
Witz’s collective choreographies are rendered with a style that pays attention to every detail, which helps to define the individual subjects in the tangle of bodies. The logos on the hats, the spontaneous smiles and hugs of couples who have met on the dance floor and don’t know if they will spend another ten minutes of their lives together.
