Notes : Images of defiance and critique run confidently throughout Conrad Botes’ graphically compelling work. The sculpture, Edward, was exhibited in Satan’s Choir at the Gates of Heaven, Botes’ debut solo exhibition at Michael Stevenson Gallery in Cape Town in 2007. Though the artist is predominantly known for his acclaimed graphical work as a comic book writer for the popular series Bitterkomix, the visually salient nature of his illustrations was carried through into sculptural manifestations for the first time in this exhibition.
Botes received the Absa l’Atelier award in 2004 and has exhibited extensively internationally including at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and The Scene Gallery in New York, Galleria l'Ariete in Bologna and .M Contemporary in Sydney.
