Notes
‘In this uncertain and violent time he has given us artworks that powerfully connect with our fraught psyches and impassioned hopes. His is an art of yearning. Rather than state the obvious – the on-going grotesquerie of inequality, human indignity and cruelty, the rot of prejudice, the ruthlessness of self-interest and greed – Modisakeng has chosen to implicate us in a battle on behalf of grace.’
Ashraf Jamal. (2017) ‘Mohau Modisakeng: Occupation’, in Gerhard Mulder (ed.) Mohau Modisakeng.,Cape Town: WHATIFTHEWORLD. Page 104.
