Einzelheiten
Anmerkung : A former Masters student of Josef Beuys at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, Germany (1971 to 1979), El Loko’s art practice centered around his iconic pictorial alphabet of Cosmic Letters. Working in a range of media, from painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography to wider explorations in installation and performance based work, Loko intended to create a universal language, that is free of inscribed racial and cultural judgement. In 2016, Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town commissioned the artist to produce a large scale installation for its inaugural exhibition. The permanent display of Loko’s glass-based Cosmic Alphabet on the rooftop of the museum serves as a moving tribute to the late artist and his uncompromising artistic ability.
