Michal Kruger +

Michal Kruger (b. 1994, Johannesburg) is a Groningen based artist. He completed his MFA at Frank Mohr Institute in 2020. In installations combining his paintings with found materials, Michal Kruger investigates a complicated personal and political history. Kruger has always been aware of his identity as a white Afrikaner. In his own words, it comes with a feeling of discomfort. Kruger grew up in a privileged environment, surrounded mostly by white people in a predominantly black country. It wasn’t until his university studies that he started to reassess his past and his own identity. This process has shaped his artistic process, using the lens of his identity to understand his place in the world. Kruger’s choice of material and motifs typical to both South African and Dutch visual culture plays an important role.

Shakil Solanki +

Shakil Solanki ( b. 1997) was born in Cape Town, South Africa. He completed his undergraduate degree at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2019, and is currently based in Cape Town, practising as an artist, working primarily within the mediums of painting and printmaking. Solanki interrogates dynamics of intimacy, using the space of a secret garden to explore dualities of tenderness, desire and violence. His experiences as a queer brown man remain central to his practice, with classical Eastern art standing as a prominent source of inspiration. The trope of a secret garden is used as a liminal space, where contrasting emotions of trauma and longing exist hand-in-hand with moments of stillness, using the theme of intimacy as a point of convergence to explore its many dynamics, evoked within many shades of the colour blue.
