Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork, titled "Sovereign," features a bold, black-and-white stamp-like design. The composition is centered around a prominent figure resembling a monarch or sovereign, surrounded by various animal and symbolic elements. The style is distinctly graphic, employing high-contrast shapes and a distinctive border that evokes a postage stamp. The overall impression is one of authority, power, and a sense of the colonial or imperialist era. The artist's intention may have been to comment on notions of sovereignty, power structures, and the symbolism associated with such concepts during a particular historical period. ...

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. ...
