Bring home Tsoku Maela's artwork 'Rediscover, Not Recreate'
Win this powerful limited edition print by the award-winning South African artist
The Experience
Rediscover, not Recreate is a poignant portrayal of reclaiming power through the process of self-discovery. South African multimedia artist Tsoku Maela draws on his personal battle with manic depression to address the issues surrounding the stigma of mental illness in black communities. As part of the self-portraiture series Abstract Peaces, this limited edition photo print uses surreal imagery and personal accounts of mental health struggles to "rewrite the collective memory of blackness across the spectrum of her muddied hues in a language so vivid and worthy of our rebellion." Maela uses his visual mediums not only to document the present but also as a way to look into the future by revisualizing African narratives, culture, and aesthetics, often as part of surreal and abstract visual worlds. His work has been featured on: CNN African Voices, Hyperallergic, VICE, GUP magazine and showcased at art fairs across the world. He is also part of Contemporary Art Curator Magazine's debut book publication "100 Artists of the Future." Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
