Beezy Bailey’s Peaceman (medium) cast in bronze with an indigo patina. One of South Africa’s leading artists, Bailey’s eclectic and effervescent approach to art has attracted a stellar list of collaborators, including David Bowie, Brian Eno and Dave Matthews. His is a storybook career that included early encounters with Andy Warhol, which was to inspire Bailey’s own Cape Town version of The Factory. Bailey aspires to create art as a balm for a mad world – a corrective for our most lamentable human qualities – and in this spirit his serene Peaceman, eyes closed and palm open, offers a symbol of peace to the world.

Barbara Wildenboer uses a combination of analogue and digital processes to create sculptural artworks that consist of collage, photo and paper-construction as well as digitally animated photographic sculpture. Wildenboer also creates delicately-cut altered books which often contain maps, atlases and scientific subject matter, sometimes using images from the book as central elements to her pieces. Imagery and words become components of the larger designs, as she crafts new visual narratives from the raw material.
