BRIEF…

Lerato Motaung. Victim of Wicked Overseer (2021). Acrylic on canvas. 103.4 x 117 cm 
Intrabyte: This work can be seen at this year's SASOL New Signatures Art Competition on at the Pretoria Art Museum until 09 January 2022. In acrylic that represents a street vendor, Motaung assets that (sic) 'the By-laws governing street trade are confusing and licenses are hard to get, leaving many street vendors vulnerable to harassment and confiscations' at the hands of the police[my italics]. Despite its conceptual consideration 'Victim of Wicked Overseer' hints at the adeptness of Motaung to work in different styles within the same picture plane.
