Kay Hassan +

The work of South African artist Kay Hassan (born 1956 in Johannesburg) crosses easily and with authority from small scale works to massive paper 'constructions' - the artist's chosen word. These last are perhaps the works for which Hassan is best known. Using the materials of the street - printed billboard posters - as his palette, Hassan rips and cuts these, deconstructing and reconstructing them into new images. The subjects are fictional characters inspired by the people the artist encounters on the streets of Johannesburg where he lives and works.

"Life Blues"

Aimé Mpane +

Working primarily with wood and an adze—a traditional African woodworking tool that dates back to the Stone Age—Belgium-based Congolese artist Aimé Mpane creates sculptures, mosaic-like wall hangings, and portraits carved on wood that explores the fundamental connection between place and personal identity. His practice points to the aesthetic and cultural character of contemporary Congo, while demonstrating a deep understanding of its history. Carved “masks” from is Le Demoiselle Pende/Masque Bi-face series resemble African masks while referencing the work of Pablo Picasso, whose imagery was influenced by an influence in Primitivism.
