More of an influence than a bite, I like Dawood’s painting. I expect Escher or someone did similar before Fukuda. The hands in the air reminded me of Mary Lou Williams Black Christ of the Andes cover.

Enjoyable exhibition, the enormity of City Hall helped curatorially, with rooms uncluttered allowing individual works to shine. Or scare in the case of Johann Van Der Schijff’s Heartbreaker.

Other highlights: Wilhelm Saaymon’s inks, Candice Borzechowski’s safety pin sculpture, Frans Masobe Mothapo’s Makatlzin Lerole (which made me feel I was being watched), and Washa and Gnesha by James Clayton, would attend the live performance of that if still in town. Also, glad Araminta De Clermont’s work is gaining plaudits, top photography.

I feel like I’ve seen Dawood Petersen’s piece somewhere before.
Oh wait, it’s a bite of Shigeo Fukuda’s work. http://bit.ly/azYqND
Shame.
