About this Item

South African 1938-2016
Adam's Halo

signed, dated 2008, numbered 15/35, inscribed with the title in pencil and embossed with the Artists' Press chopmark in the margin

two colour lithograph with embossing and hand cut holes

Notes

"Adam's Halo also addresses the dichotomy within him. A pure white ring of raised circles (embossed in the print) on the left of the image disintegrates, on the right, into random bullet holes. Both halo elements are quietly treated so that the print takes its time to 'develop' in the viewer's mind." —Judith Mason, 20081
