Man on a horse
A large mural by the German artist Matthias Mross on Pirosmani Street in Batumi shows a man in modern clothes holding reins and a whip.
The mural, painted in 2019, is by Matthias Mross and belongs to his Urban Cowboys series. It was made on Pirosmani Street as part of the Niko Movement festival, which invites local and international artists to paint murals in Batumi. A man in a baseball cap and sports jacket holds reins and a whip beside a cart, relics of the past. The realistically painted figure stands against a sketchy sun and clouds, which stresses that he does not fit the modern world.
