Note : Through his expressive, evocative and poetic artwork, Koloane interrogated the socio-political and existential human condition, using Johannesburg as his primary subject matter. Koloane’s representations of Johannesburg are populated with images of cityscapes, townships, street life, jazz musicians, traffic jams, migration, refugees, dogs, cattle and birds among others. Animal presences – such as the bull in the present lot – were always significant, representing power, freedom, resistance, threat or peace.
