Notes

“This maquette serves as a precursor to a larger bronze commission for the Johannesburg Art Gallery. The work explores the ideological construction and manipulation of traditional masculinity, highlighting how agency and authority are socially and culturally imposed as norms. It alludes to the pervasive, yet often overlooked, mythic and spiritual dimensions of the masculine/feminine binary.”—Andries Johannes Botha, 2025

Provenance

Acquired from the artist by the current owner.
