Karlien De Villiers, with her bizarre characters who seem to come from the world of comics, pushes us to reflect on problems that are always present in our society with a biting irony.
In this work, the artist invites the viewer to reflect on gender based violence, a topic that has earned significant attention recently. The composition features various elements associated with this theme, floating in space, in a blue background reminiscent of the clear and pure colours of the sky. It is intriguing to note how Karlien De Villiers constructs her figures, utilizing the simplicity of forms to achieve a flawless result.
