Williams Chechet Presents Hyperflux at Retro Africa
‘Hyperflux’ emulates beauty in distortion and shows the artist’s ability to meticulously execute artworks that merge figuration, abstraction, motif design, as well as selected images that encompass lifestyle, text, design, architecture, nature and heritage. The works featured in the exhibition are centred on the theme of self-identity and are oddly reminiscent of the work of artist Roy Lichtenstein. Chechet creates a visual distortion while simultaneously keeping the illusion of coherence in the observed image, which speaks to a sense of character and identity.
