Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The image presents a striking visual composition, with hands prominently featured against a backdrop of newsprint. The hands are grasping and manipulating what appears to be crumbled dark material, likely soil or dirt, creating a textural and earthy contrast with the crisp, monochromatic newspaper pages. The overall impression is one of tactile engagement, highlighting the interplay between the human form and natural elements. The artwork seems to explore themes of human interaction with the environment, the meditative act of working with one's hands, and the juxtaposition of the organic and the printed word. The artwork's style and technique, with its focus on close-up, sensorial details, lend it a contemplative and introspective quality. ...

Lerato Shadi’s work challenges common assumptions to critique Western notions of history and make visible that which is invisible or overlooked. Working across video, performance and installation, and often employing repetitive processes, she argues the importance of centering - not just including - the marginalised body as a main figure of narrative experience. By placing herself at the forefront of her work, Shadi deals with the politics of cultural erasure and structural exclusion. She states: “It serves to challenge myself, and hopefully my audience as well, in how I/we are complicit in the violence of historical erasure by not fighting for a more inclusive and accurate historical narrative. I realised that – by just blindly or lazily accepting an inaccurate history – I would be sanctioning the problematic dominant narrative with my own inactivity.” ...

Cape Town

Based in a 360 sqm gallery in Woodstock, Cape Town, blank was founded by Jonathan Garnham as a project space in 2005 and transitioned into a commercial gallery during 2012. The gallery represents emerging and increasingly established artists from the region in a critically engaged programme that emphasises contemporaneity, with a focus on concept and abstraction in the African context. With an exhibition programme that has a reputation for shaping the discourse around contemporary art in South(ern) Africa, and participation in prominent local and international art fairs, we seek to place our artists' work in a wide range of private and institutional collections. In addition, blank continues to promote the visual arts in our community through ongoing projects that support the sector. ...
