Katlego Tlabela - Sundays Are For Lovers V

About the Item

In Katlego Tlabela’s imagined and familiar paintings of domestic settings, he responds to South Africa’s persisting economic inequality with bolstered visual fantasies of self-determination. By placing himself, his paintings, and Black protaganists in opulent scenes historically reserved for the white upper- middle class, Tlabela satirically engages with the political landscape of South Africa. This series of paintings makes recurring reference to swimming pools, the ultimate middle-class status symbol of leisure and luxury in “nouveau riche” contemporary society. In Tlabela’s world, the pool becomes a signifier of Black wealth, justice, and land reform: A vision that may currently be fictional, but ultimately aspirational and attainable.
