Richard ‘Specs’ Ndimande: The beast of prey and its prey

This exhibition is about conversations we have about outward situations that fill the mind with sorrow, and then go about contributing to the same situations by individually seeking power, domination and achieving. The discussions about how dreadful society is without realising that we part of society and we are equally responsible for for all the social ills. In a series of drawings, sculptures and photographs, Ndimande makes an oblique comment on the relationship between the offender and the victim, the the oppressor and the oppressed and the observer and the observed. He executed these themes using the human animal hybrid which allows him to depict the oppressed as prey and the oppressor as the predatory beast in one figurative element, hiding who is truly in power.
