Love Land - Wayne Barker

In his latest body of work Wayne Barker builds on ideas of his own artistic history largely made up of work dealing with the politics of representation in terms of the South African landscape. The title of the exhibition, 'Love Land', alludes to the landscape as a product of deviant sexuality, a love child or bastard. The show features a selection of works that carries many of Barker’s trademarks, namely his use of neon signage, expressionist gestures juxtaposed with African pop imagery, digital manipulation and the incorporation of traditional South African craft.
