Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a silhouetted scene of various animals, including a giraffe and a cat, against a stark black-and-white background. The composition is simple and geometric, with a prominent framing device resembling a postage stamp. The overall visual style is reminiscent of vintage print media or propaganda posters, utilizing high-contrast monochrome tones and streamlined, stylized forms. The piece appears to be a stamp design, likely conveying a symbolic or allegorical message through its symbolic animal imagery and minimalist aesthetic. The historical context or the artist's intention behind this work may reflect social or political themes of the era in which it was created. ...

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. ...
