Amazing Chalk Drawings by Robin Rhodefrom now until august 21, 2015, lehmann maupin’s new york gallery presents the work of south african artist robin rhode. the
exhibition ‘borne frieze’ — a riff on the commonly used south african
phrase ‘born frees’, given to the generation born after the end of
apartheid — includes several new works that embody the importance of
drawing to the artist’s multi-faceted vision. expanding upon
rhode’s recurring use of visual and verbal puns, the exhibition
juxtaposes the heritage of his home country with the ephemerality of his
artistic practice.
