Dog Chasing Birds
Note : The present lot depicts scavenging dogs chasing birds painted in such a way that they generate a lively and ever-varying rhythm. This can be read as the brutality of township life with its unexpected beauties and endless mystery. Koloane’s work requires the viewer to be sensitive and aware of both the beauty and the gloom of what is portrayed, neither pursuing one nor resisting the other, but perceiving both as a whole.
