Notes

Exaggerated features, bright colours and hybrid forms are characteristic of Rikhotso’s figurative sculpture. In this work, a male figure with an elongated neck and wide, toothy grin stands with his hands on his hips. Depicted wearing a bright red dotted shirt and blue striped trousers with a closely-cropped hairstyle, the figure resembles a stylish city-slicker, exuding a sly confidence.

See Lot 2 for artist biography.
