About the Item
Icons & Symbols? 2021, Cardboard Block Print on Paper, 1/2
Lok Kandjengo’s cardboard print ‘Icons and symbols?’ speaks to the contentious visual memory landscape of Windhoek. The parliament buildings in the centre of the print started as the administrative centre of German colonial rule, then became the seat of the Apartheid South African government and is currently where the democratic Namibian government convene. This building is a political nexus that has shifted over time. Kandjengo’s print works to conflate time and space, bringing the recently contested statue of German general Curt von Francois into the same frame as the parliament buildings, and a statue of the ‘Founding Father’ of Namibia, Sam Nujoma. Kandjengo is well known for his love of cars and in this print we see a farmer's bakkie and an old VW beetle. Both of these cars have been and continue to be symbols of economic privilege. Together with their background we see a complex portrait of power, wealth and freedom.
Lok Kandjengo was born in Ongwedieva in 1988. He moved to Windhoek to study visual art, first at the John Muafangejo Art Centre and then at the College of the Arts. Kandjengo graduated in 2011 after having specialised in the oil-based technique of cardboard printmaking. Kandjengo is also a master of linoleum block printmaking. The artist’s highly graphic prints draw on the subject matter of his daily life. Kandjengo has exhibited locally and internationally with works acquired by the National Art Gallery of Namibia as well as the Museum Wuerth Collection in Germany. Kandjengo has had three solo exhibitions, the first took place at the Franco Namibian Cultural Centre in 2013 and the second and third were held at the National Art Gallery of Namibia in 2015 and 2018. Kandjengo has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions.
