Greetings World
Welcome to Asisebenze Art Studio, where the vibrant energy of Johannesburg's inner city is captured in the form of contemporary art. Today, we have the privilege of taking a closer look at Sisfiso Mkhabela's solo exhibition titled "Concrete Cocoon", curated by Nolan Stevens. As we enter the exhibit, the hustle and bustle of the city fades away and we are transported into a world of vivid colors and thought-provoking pieces. Each artwork in this collection tells a story of life in the inner city, shedding light on the struggles and conflicts faced by its inhabitants. Mkhabela's use of mixed media elements, and intricate details, captures the essence of the city and its people in a truly unique way. The title of the exhibition, "Concrete Cocoon", cleverly hints at the dichotomy of life in the inner city - a harsh, unyielding environment that is both a source of protection and a suffocating trap. As we explore each piece, we are invited to reflect on our own relationship with the city and its inhabitants.
