About the Item
Vibrant piece featuring girls with mouse heads. Homage to the twins from The Shining.
About the artist:
South Africa’s most renowned pop artist is an anonymous figure known as Fringe. His large-scale artworks on canvas are devoted to the common good, and human bonds. Fringe’s obsession with our ambivalence to fame, fortune and conspicuous consumption is in itself never obvious. Rather, his message is buried within his compositions that feature a coded cast of world famous pop characters, arranged to bamboozle and entertain.
In his multimedia works, the clash of icons and symbols causes a resounding visual explosion. Fringe’s slogans are visual challenges placed to intrigue and disrupt. Borrowed from high and low culture -- textbooks, television, adverts, signage and magazines – they are like instructions on packaging, or directions in a shopping mall.
The monumentalizing of brands and logos keeps us wondering who is in charge – wondering exactly who is boss.
Fringe is the pseudonym of South Africa’s most successful pop artist. His story is a combination of high output and well-timed solo exhibitions that have launched his signature series’. His singular style has become identifiable as artist’s alone. Born in 1976 in South Africa, he migrated from graphic design to art production, using branding in conjunction with provocative imagery to produce unique multimedia pieces and sculptures. Moving from commercial graphics to the pop art gallery context, from 2017 to 2020 Fringe enjoyed three sold-out solo exhibitions in South Africa. His work has been exhibited on private shows and auctions in Europe -- in Germany, France, Austria and the United Kingdom – and in Australia.

SOCIAL Losas "I"
Located in Natchez, MS
This work is from the artist's SOCIAL series, based on the iconic Cuban magazine of the same name. Conde, uninterested in painting his home town of Havana as it currently is, hearkens back to the heydays of Cuba, time of SOCIAL magazine. Conde has revived SOCIAL magazine, if only in his head, and is creating 240 new covers for the magazine. He will symbolically close the magazine on the date of the revolution. The artist often uses gold, silver and palladium leaf in the works to symbolize the power and wealth which Cuba once possessed.
In this work, SOCIAL "I", a stylized woman from a bygone era has plucked the silver I from the word SOCIAL, in the background the pattern is representative of the ever present Cuban tiles.
