About the Item

Faith is a contemporary artwork realized by Jane Alexander in 2002. Mixed colored photolithograph. Hand signed and numbered. Es. 30/50 Provenance: Kyle Kauffman Gallery New York Born in Johannesburg in 1959, Jane Alexander lives and works in Cape Town. Since its beginnings in the 1980s, when South Africa was still under the apartheid regime, it has shown itself sensitive to socio-political issues and all forms and structures of the exercise of power, oppression and control. His sculptures are made with plaster, fibreglass, paint, found objects, occasionally bone and 'props' such as chairs, benches, ammunition, fences, machetes and sickles. His universe of man-animals exemplifies the range of motivations that guide human action and which range from rationality to instinct, relocating man within the animal world. Despite the local matrix of the themes underlying the artist's work, apartheid, post-colonial social and political change and presumed democratisation, the work overcomes thematic localism and results in a universal reflection on the growing global obsession with security and new forms of oppression and isolation of ethnic groups and minorities. The humanoid figures convey a sense of depersonalization and annihilation: the human body with the head of a dog, monkey, bird or rabbit, the glassy gazes lost in space, almost seem like the realistic materialization of a dreamlike subconscious. The installation “African Adventure 1999-2002” is part of the permanent collection of the Tate Modern in London, in the section dedicated to Artists and Society.
