P89

This triptych of Dada style assemblage by Wayne Barker seems to encapsulate a sense of the artist’s familiar irreverence beneath the skin of the camoufl aged objects taped down and whitewashed to form an enigmatic surface. The objects themselves disappear into nothingness, but peak out through the stencilled letters, which fl oat in another realm almost unaware of what lies below. The range of words – mars, faith, fun, country, face, one – are scattered around like an exploded wordsearch, some still back to front and slightly atilt. The impudence of these somewhat glib and incoherent words are almost a deterrent to looking closer, but it is in the small details that Barker begins to allow more serious engagements: the word ‘consciousness’ is scrawled in small untidy handwriting above a line-up of small plastic fi gures (much like the miniature toy army men) which hang precariously from the edge of the central plane. In each of the three compositions we see similar plastic fi gures, one standing triumphantly on a crumbled up bank note. Some of the words, which may read like nonsense are also worth a closer inspection – ‘obdachlos’ stencilled below the word ‘faith’ is German for ‘homeless’ and ‘ohne’ to the right of the word ‘one’ is translated as ‘without’ or ‘in the absence of’. To this riddle there is no clear answer, but perhaps this is Barker’s point – for us to dig beneath the fi rst impression of how things seem.

Kentridge, William Joseph (SA 1955 - )The First Exhibition Poster, Market Theatre GalleryScreenprint on brown paper, signed, 197967 x 43cmR 20 000 – R 30 000

P94

A spot-lit fi gure gestures dramatically from the depths of a dark three-walled pit in a poster advertising William Kentridge’s fi rst solo exhibition at the Market Theatre Gallery in 1979. The famous Pit series, as it is often now called, was perhaps an early signifi er of Kentridge’s on going love affair with the intersection between drawing and theatre. The ‘pit’ here refers quite literally to a stage, on which a tortured actor is perhaps too literally taking on his role. The way in which Kentridge has almost carved and sculpted the fi gure in ink, carefully slicing out the highlights, reinforces this sense of torment as the performer glares up to the silhouetted fi gures above. What remains unclear is who his tormentors are: the onlookers to whom he gestures, or us, casting our gaze upon him from the safety of the gallery.

P148

Friends is one of the many collaborations between Robert Hodgins and Sam Nhlengethwa through the late 1990s and 2000s. In this image, the two seem to be imaged in an interior space (similar to those in Nhlengethwa’s Tribute series) where they are sharing a glass of wine. On the wall above them hanging on the wall is one of Nhlengethwa’s own photocollages: Pass Raid 2004, which in the same year showed at the Goodman Gallery in a show titled Glimpses of the Fifties and Sixties. Friends was probably one of the works made for the collaborative show between the two artists which was exhibited at Gallery AOP in 2007.

P155

While the majority of George Pemba’s works from his six decade career are of Xhosa women, most are portraits and very few depict a group of women as we see them in this painting. In his typical social realist style, Pemba portrays the three female fi gures harvesting wheat at the end of a long day. As the sun sets behind them, we see the dramatised gesture of the woman on the left wiping the sweat from her brow. In the earlier stages of his oeuvre, Pemba was inclined to capture the detailed, emotional and honest images of the people he travelled to meet, but from the 1970s he tended to amplify the harsh reality of rural and urban life for black people under Apartheid. This understanding might suggest a slightly less naturalistic interpretation of the painting, which shows the three women quite elaborately adorned with beadwork while tending their crops. Perhaps rather than a simple depiction of the everyday, Pemba is pointing us to a more metaphoric reading of rural life, of the quiet dignity with which people endure despite the circumstances.

Debuted at Documenta 13, this intriguing sculpture is one of a set of nine other similar bronze sculptures. In each there are at least two clear images that emerge when viewed from different angles – hence the title Rebus, which refers to an allusionary puzzle composed of both words and images. Included in the series are images of a telephone, a coffee pot, a tree and of course a megaphone, all which draw on and reference the repository of image-characters in Kentridge’s oeuvre. In this particular sculpture, a megaphone disappears into a black square as you move around it, the rim of the device lingering like a glaring eye. This modus operandi references the large scale public artwork on which Kentridge collaborated with Gerhard Marx – Firewalker (2009) in which a collaged fi gure carrying a brazier emerges only when viewed from a certain angle as one drives down the Queen Elizabeth Bridge into the CBD of Johannesburg. Considering the proliferation of these kinds of works particularly in public sculpture – see for example Marco Cianfanelli’s portrait of Nelson Mandela in Howick – it seems that artists are pointing out the fi xity of our viewpoints. Kentridge eloquently explains that these works are “hieroglyphs, of sorts, in which an invitation is extended to the viewer to make sense of the nonsense — and what is offered is not a natural interpretation, but rather the possibility of sense. There is an invitation to make our own rebus from the elements, a narrative sentence from the different pieces.”Reference: 1. http://www.candicebermangallery.co.za/artists/william-kentridge/rebus-cube-1476-1477-detail

Eduardo Villa’s totemic and playful fi gures are endlessly fascinating for the ways in which they seem to beg for a likeness to something. Many of Villa sculptures around the country in private and public collections are debated over again and again: some arguing for their abstraction and others for their likeness to animals, humans, machines. And yet it is the tension between fi gure and non-fi gure that gives these works their potency. In Encounter with Colour no. 4, we wonder if the bold red colour inside the tubular ‘beak’ of the fi gure is in fact the depths of a large and hungry mouth belonging to some or other therianthropic bird man, or if perhaps the encounter, as it were, is simply a play of planes and shapes resulting in a cavernous glow of red. This tension also perhaps contributes to the ways in which Villa’s works seem timeless and undeniably modern, as if they reference the gods of the past through the symbols of the future. As artist and collector Karel Nel argues: “The combination of the archaic, archetypal characteristics of African art with the liberation of modernity and the technology of the new industrial world has played itself out throughout Villa’s creative career” (2005: 144).Reference: 1.

Hodgins, Robert Griffi ths (SA 1920 - 2010)Your Friendly Garage HandOil on canvas, signed, 1999/00120 x 90cm R 450 000 – R 550 000

Your Friendly Garage Hand points, in some sense, to the long-standing friendship and collaboration between Robert Hodgins and Jan Neethling. In his essay ‘Young Men in Garage Trousers’, curator and writer Wilhelm van Rensburg details the meeting of the two artists when Hodgins lectured Neethling in the late 1950s. The story goes that Hodgins enquired of his new student “what a young man at College was doing wearing garage trousers – denim jeans – when the dress code was strictly suit-and-tie?” (2014: np). The reference in this painting to the “garage hand”, who is clearly wearing dirty blue jeans, seems to suggest a link to this initial encounter between the two almost half a century prior. Van Rensburg goes on to argue that the phrase “young men in garage trousers” marked Hodgins’ and Neethling’s “irreverent attitude towards convention that became the hallmark of both artists throughout their artistic careers” (2014: np).

The fi gure in the painting can be read as a kind of human manifestation of this idea, a kind of a mascot for the rule-benders, the outsiders, the villain of the story, but a hero of the working class. In this way, the painting acts almost like a movie poster, advertising a macho narrative of strength against adversity. The fi gure holds the wrench in his left hand almost like a dumbbell, fl exing the muscles beneath his plain white t-shirt. He is James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, John Travolta in Grease. This reference is further emphasised by the use of collaged text – an advert for Shell Garage, which has been carefully and playfully cropped into the scene. The bold title becomes “hell rage” and the words ‘repairs’ and ‘services’ are chopped into pairs and vices, which are “done here” “day & night”. The inclusion of this text shifts the way we read the image, not simply because its hard clean lines set off the painterly surface of the rest of the painting, but also for the way it presses us to look beneath the surface of the story, to read between the lines.

In this way the painting seems to also point toward a 2001 collaboration between the two artists in which they revisited a set of printmaking experiments using a limited number of “iconic” images. In the 1980s the pair had created recreated a silkscreen portrait of 1930s American gangster Pretty Boy Floyd. Van Rensburg argues that the two seemed to mimic the 1960s prints by Andy Warhol Thirteen Most Wanted Men in which the valorisation of the underdog appeared to have reached its climax in the USA (2014). In 2001 they followed a similar process, meeting over Easter weekend and experimenting with silkscreening, but this time used portraits of each other. Hodgins apparently joked that in this later collaboration there were two criminals with which to contend.

Your Friendly Garage Hand seems to be posed as more of a question than a statement – is this character more vice than virtue? Furthermore is this perhaps an imagined portrait of the pair’s friendship and collaboration – two young men in garage trousers?

Kevin Roberts is well known for his quiet, but potent paintings that seem to draw on a universal language of iconography. Here a woman is mirrored in two halves of the picture plane, perhaps signalling the passing of time. In the fi rst image, she holds a feather in one hand and a piece of blue fl owing cloth in the other. The symbolism of these two prompts seem to suggest the hope of water – the bird a messenger of rain and the cloth a fl owing river. She is, however, shrouded in darkness and all we see in the background are the dry branches of a tree, which seem a poor substitute for the halo that such a staid and pious Madonna surely deserves. In the next scene she is imaged in a bleak landscape, but now holds a small green branch, perhaps a promise of new beginnings. As Ingrid Stevens proposes, this woman is not a reference to someone in particular, but rather “an archetype” … “ a Madonna or mother, sister or daughter, or a bearer of new life, or metaphor for aspect of the human condition, such as human spirituality, the unconscious, the meditative and the instinctive.”Reference: 1.
