DIEZEL
Using symbols, scribbles and writing to communicate ideas and the spirit of Africa
With the AfroPop’ Exhibition Diezel uses art to ask questions about South African Culture and the social and political situation in South Africa. The collection was done in an “AfroPop” style and the influence of the Pop Artists of the Sixties, such as Jean-MicheI Basquiat and Roy Lichtenstein is obvious in the works.
Throughout the collection Diezel incorporates bright colours, scribbles and writing to comment on the ‘high voltage’ existence in Africa.
The works include ideas about the complexities of a muIti-cuIturaI existence within South African society, its history, the political situation and the varied belief systems of the different groups.

Stars are ‘lucky’, plus (+) signs are signs of hope and optimism and hearts represent a love of country. Colours and drips symboIize Iife ‘experience’ and how it influences the subjects view of the world.
