Note : Kemang wa Lehulere is currently one of South Africa’s fastest rising international star artists. The prominent and influential Marian Goodman Gallery in New York began representing him last year, when it also staged his first, highly praised, solo show at its London premises. An artist who works across installation, performance and drawing as his primary mediums, he started out in Cape Town, his home city, as a member of arts collective Gugulective, an experience he still maintains was a formative one in demonstrating to him both the value of collaboration and of artistic research in his work. His questing intellect led him to found the Centre for Historical Reenactments in Johannesburg, where he moved in 2010 to complete a Fine Arts degree. The work on auction shows a more lyrical side to his practice, but even this dreamy and child-like scene retains a sinister edge.
