Note : Notes: In the wake of the 2020 pandemic, Wayne Barker created Love, Life in The Time of Corona; a series of portraits that not only spoke to the feelings of uncertainty, but also the collective strength of human beings displayed at the time. Hoping to shed some light and hope in a dark time, the ongoing project invited viewers to participate by sending their ‘selfies’ to the artist. The images were the starting point, followed by layers of colour, text and a hopeful light that brightens the whole image. Collections: The artist is represented in numerous local collections, notably, Iziko South African National Gallery, Cape Town; Johannesburg Art Gallery; MTN Art Collection, Johannesburg; Javett Art Centre, Pretoria and Wits Art Museum, Johannesburg.
Condition_report : The overall condition is good.
