COLBERT MASHILE
AS WE ARE
CIRCA GALLERY
26 JULY – 18 AUGUST 2018
Staying true to his characteristic use of wit and innuendo, Mashile continues his story telling through strong visual imagery.
Mashile’s new body of work focuses rather on the everyday, personal objects we surround ourselves with and how they, like the anthropomorphic animals we have seen in his previous works, are symbolic and imbued with meaning, giving insight into human nature and our daily routines.
Typically, Mashile avoids condensing his artworks into linear narratives; Mashile sees each piece as a “fleeting moment,” in his mind, this moment is constructed from the small things that we do.
