William KentridgeDrawing for Ⅱ Sole 24 Ore213.5×150cm. Gouache, charcoal, pastel & coloured pencil on paper. Unique |
Born in 1955 in the Republic of South Africa and currently living in Johannesburg, William Kentridge is an exceptionally intellectual artist who is respected by many artists around the world. In the late 1980s, he began creating his signature “drawings in motion,” which are created through the painstaking process of photographing charcoal-and-pastel drawings, adding new marks and erasures frame by frame to make the drawings ‘move.’ Kentridge’s films are thus borne from a continuous record of ceaselessly changing drawings. Furthermore, Kentridge’s works are deeply affected by the history of South Africa, and his early works, imbued with the pain inflicted by his country’s history of apartheid, have drawn a great deal of attention from all over the world as an artistic expression/practice of anti-Eurocentric postcolonial criticism. |
