Barbara Wildenboer is participating in the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees (KKNK)

March 10, 2020

Barbara Wildenboer is participating in the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees (KKNK). Wildenboer will present a retrospective of her work that has been produced over the course of her last ten solo exhibitions.

The work showcased consists of collage, photo-and-paper-construction and digitally animated photographic sculpture. She uses a combination of analogue and digital processes to create work which explores phenomena such as temporality, fractal geometry and the interconnectedness of all living things. Using media images and information selected from various sources, Wildenboer constructs an alternate reality. The three dimensional paper works reflect on how humankind is affected by globalisation, economic upheavals, scarcity, political corruption, wars, epidemics and natural disasters.

Barbara Wildenboer  Folly

Everard Read London presents an exhibition of new work by South African artist, Barbara Wildenboer.

Using the medium of collage to powerful effect, Wildenboer’s exhibition comprises highly textured and sculptural works that serve as contemporary vanitases within the context of the Anthropocene.

Through her practice, Wildenboer reflects on how humankind is affected by globalisation, economic upheavals, scarcity, pollution and man-made disasters. She explores both beauty and excess, the magnitude and the mystery of the cosmos, contrasted with the relative insignificance of humans.
