Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary sculpture features a striking contrast of materials and elements. The visual composition combines a rectangular wooden frame with an interior grassy platform and three gold-colored cat statues perched on the grass. The bold blue surface beneath the grass adds a striking visual accent. The overall piece employs a minimalist aesthetic, focusing on simple geometric shapes and natural materials. The artist's intention may be to explore ideas of domesticity, nature, and the interplay between the natural and the artificial. This thought-provoking work invites the viewer to consider the relationship between the mundane and the extraordinary within the context of contemporary art. ...

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. ...
