The South African artist’s paintings are tactile objects—hand-woven with found textiles and artifacts, and imbued with an undercurrent of meaning and emotion. His new canvases are the most geographically adventurous to date, made with materials culled from America, India, Spain, and the African continent, and bearing notions of displacement and diaspora in their dynamic surfaces.
