Movement is one of the pillars my practice. This is one of the 3D animated films that I get to explore movement as a way to encapsulate ideas around the need to be in touch with the subconcious and unconscious self.The film premiered at @gallerymomo 2019.

King Debs 'Tlhago' (2020) CGI 360° Film 6min x 9s King Debs 'Tlhago' (2020) CGI 360° Film 6min x 9sec Non-verbal AGES: 10+Presented by vNAF, @nationalartsfestival Published by HIATUS GOAT . . . Tlhago explores issues of mourning the cultural and natural worlds we have lost. Thom van Dooren writes that “mourning is a process of learning and transformation to accommodate a changed reality. Mourning is about dwelling with a loss and so coming to appreciate what it means, how the world has changed, and how we must ourselves change and renew our relationships if we are to move forward from here. Genuine mourning should open us into an awareness of our dependence on and relationships with those countless others being driven over the edge of extinction.” This film was about the processing of my situation within the current epoch and a reflection of the debilitating feelings of powerlessness. . . . #ArtAfricaTakeover #artafrica #artafricamagazine #kingdebs #takeover

As one internalizes what has transpired throughout this year, leading up to the current global 'state of affairs', perhaps this artwork best captures the spirit of our time based on the chosen theme."Mayo le maboo ga a itsiswe" - The Future is Uncertain...This is one of my favorite collaborations with @skubalisto, an artist whose work continues to inspire me. We created this artwork earlier in 2020, prior to any seismic shifts in the socio-political complex.Initially, the artwork was physically presented at @everard_read_cape_town_ for their cubicle series. Later on in the middle of the year, the artwork would be included in a group exhibition with @madlozi_artgallery online group show - 'BE REAL BLACK, FOR ME', which is available to view on Artsy. . . #ArtAfricaTakeover #artafrica #artafricamagazine #kingdebs #takeover
King Debs Khumo (2020) 3D CGI digital print on ar King Debs Khumo (2020) 3D CGI digital print on archival paper Edition 1 of 5 119 x 84 cmPresented by Association for Visual Arts, @avagallery.za , listed on @latitudes.online platform.This artwork is inscribed with a Tswana proverb that reads; "Khumo le le le huma di lala mmogo" which means that a rich person can turn poor at any given point in life, and the inverse applies to a poor person, as their fortune could turn for the better. This proverb serves as a guideline for one to always maintain humility and to be grateful, no matter the circumstances one can face, as life is unpredictable. This artwork is perhaps one of the most prophetic and sobering pieces as part of my exhibition that opened in March 2020 at the AVA gallery, which is currently listed with @latitudes.online platform. The opening was the day after the first case of the big 'C' was announced in South Africa. At that time, no one anticipated the turn of events that would follow for months to come.. . . #ArtAfricaTakeover #artafrica #artafricamagazine #kingdebs #takeover

This portrait is of a deity named Mmabatho (The people’s mother). The Tswana proverb in the background reads: “Tsie e fofa ka moswang - Batho ba kgona tiro botoka fa ba kgotse.”, which means that people are able to perform and function well when they nourished. However, this nourishment is not limited to the physical, and rather extends to mental and metaphysical states. . . . #ArtAfricaTakeover #artafrica #artafricamagazine #kingdebs #takeover
