Material
suitcase, earth, grass, spray painted ceramic dogs
Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary art installation features a vintage suitcase nestled in a lush, grassy setting. The composition utilizes a muted color palette, dominated by earthy tones, with the green grass serving as a vibrant contrast. The suitcase, with its faded and weathered exterior, suggests a sense of nostalgia and the passage of time. Alongside the suitcase, two golden dog figurines stand guard, evoking a sense of protection and watchfulness. The artwork seems to explore themes of memory, the natural world, and the relationship between the past and the present. The artist's intention may be to invite the viewer to reflect on the transience of life and the enduring presence of nature. ...

Artist
Kemang Wa Lehulere
B.1984, South African

Kemang Wa Lehulere’s practice engages with the past of South Africa, tracing the ways it still haunts the country’s current condition. Working with personal and collective histories and archives, the artist repeatedly employs found objects representing both individual and collective memory. Wooden, old-looking school desks or mass-produced ceramic sculptures of Alsatian dogs are at once familiar and alienating; a reminder from childhood also acting as a reminder of the complexity of social structures within the Apartheid regime of South Africa. Inspired by set design and theatre, Wa Lehulere’s drawings and ‘living sculptures’, comprising smudged chalk drawings on blackboards, sculptures made of grass and soil and wall etchings, further dwell on the processes of revision, juxtaposition and the malfunction of histories. By making history physical and personal, the artist contrasts liberation with repression and sharply connects the painful past with a painful present. ...
