ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In 2018 I held my second solo exhibition, Under a cobalt sky, at Gallery2 in Johannesburg. The above painting is one of the paintings from that exhibition. This project deals with the relationship between travel, exploitative resource extraction, labour and non-place. I focussed on two colours (metals) exerting considerable influence on contemporary society, namely cobalt and cadmium. I wanted to link and question the use of these colours in the history of painting, in road signage and in the manufacturing of cutting-edge digital technology which is underpinning the current global economy.
