About "Turning a Blind Eye "
As I turned the corner on my scooter, I just missed a man who had one blind eye, as he leapt onto the pavement. He looked like a vagrant but was alert and had obviously been through some tough times. I 'extracted' from this image and created this painting, reflecting on some aspect of our current political climate of corruption, nepotism and impunity.

The period of disaster has lifted. PRICE of works has been updated.
My art is formed through a combination of myth, psyche, archetype and innovation drawn from life's many many influences...and has even amazed me with its portent...drawn from a deeply intuitive cognitive consciousness. We have so much more information as our source of inspiration amid a myriad of vying energies.
With the current madness and orchestrated insanity busy bombing our minds daily, with full intention to DISORIENTATE, OBFUSCATE and DEMORALISE our lives, we have to stand strong and focused.
It is more important than ever that these moronic forces that are hell bent on subjugating the world to its morass of dubious and despicable control mechanisms by robbing us of our sovereignty are defeated. It is a GIVEN that their plans are so DELUDED that they will never succeed. The mere fact that they even THINK that their plan will succeed is alarming enough. It has FAILURE built into it. What it boils down to is that they are trying to take as many people as they can with them. It is THEIR end game. It is THEIR fear. It is THEIR stupidity.
And of course being shadow banned as an artist is shameful. But the more I am ignored, hidden, the more powerful my work becomes. It is a given. Thank you in advance.
LATEST UPDATE: FB has ripped me apart! They have deleted all of my platforms for violating 'instagram's community standards. I had tried to remove myself from instagram a few years ago but my efforts failed....so I clean forgot about it. However, I became aware that when I post to my art pages that the post is also shared to instagram. FB does not tell me exactly what it is that I have done that constitutes this drastic response. When I follow the links to 'appeal' I am sent a 'verification' code that will allow me to make an appeal, but when I enter the verification code and require my ORIGINAL password, it keeps telling me that I have entered the wrong password. When I type in my phone number (another option) it tells me that no such number exists. I am told that I have 179 days within which to lodge an appeal. That boils down to a six month ban/...and, in the mean time a 'discreetly blatant' form of CREATIVE ASSASSINATION!!
When artists are made to feel that they have as much significance as another brick in the wall......KNOW that society has been completely INVERTED.

Exhibitions
too numerous to mention but held a RETROSPECTIVE of nine paintings on an invite from artist/filmmaker Aryan Kaganof at his VIRGINS exhibition at the KZNSA art gallery 2002. I also performed a solo experimental piece, plus showcased some fashion garments at the opening.
Also a solo show at Chilliplum restaurant, Hillcrest 2013.
