Goodman Gallery, Cape Town, In the City , 28 July to 10 September 2016. Goodman Gallery, Cape Town, In Context: Where We Are , 29 October to 7 December 2016. ITEM NOTES Through his expressive, evocative and poetic artwork, Koloane interrogated the socio- political and existential human condition, using Johannesburg as his primary subject matter. Koloane’s representations of Johannesburg are populated with images of cityscapes, townships, street life, jazz musicians, traffic jams, migration, refugees, dogs, cattle and birds among others. Animal presences – such as the bull in the current lot – were always significant, representing power, freedom, resistance, threat or peace. Source: Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg.
