11  CINGA SAMSON SOUTH AFRICAN 1986– Untitled signed and dated 2015 on the reverse oil on canvas 80 by 60cm R70 000 – 90 000 EXHIBITED Blank Projects, Cape Town, Group Exhibition: Furniture , 26 November 2015 to 16 January 2016. “[Cinga Samson’s] art addresses themes of masculinity, spirituality and race against the backdrop of Post-colonialism. Painting personal visions together with imagery culled and pieced together from art history books, his style is reminiscent of formal traditions of European art. These vanitas-like still lives – bouquets of flowers, peeled fruit and animal skulls – are anachronistic and surreal; like visions or dreams, figures and objects emerge, strangely illuminated, from cold and murky interiors.” 1 1.  https://www.blankprojects.com/exhibition- press/furniture/ 23
