Kay Hassan

South African artist Kay Hassan experienced firsthand the process of a repressive apartheid regime giving way to a democratic multicultural country. In his drawings - oversized, brightly coloured collages on billboard paper - and in his expressive poetic installations, he examines the links between the private and the public, the political and the artistic, the sociological and the psychological aspects of his life and the environment that surrounds him, describing them in terms of a traumatic historical past and the dawn of a changed society.
