Exhibition Statement:
Katlego studies the emotional journey of youth through line. Expressing the pressures felt by our youngsters today…. all their frustrations, fears, hopes, dreams and joy.
By stripping the subjects of any recognizable identity, he also strips us the viewer of the Constraints of preconceived ideas and subjectivity, allowing us to see and experience only the emotion contained within the line.
The immediate transfer of Katlego’s emotions onto paper.
Transhumanism Interpretation :
My take on the Transhumanism is that of seeking to ever augment our human condition, in the struggle of aiming to better ourselves as humans. We have resorted by majority to alter and refine parts of ourselves, whether it be for aesthetic beauty or emotional state.
We now have access to do so, at the cost of identity.
The artwork “It’s me…Cosmos” seeks to show the viewer the possible effects that come with eroding our conditions and artificial adding on them.
