According to Rose, Christian Levitt commissioned this one
Rose Shakinovsky’s (b. 1953, Johannesburg) work defies any stylistic category as it consists of work that ranges from the re-presentation and decontextualization of found objects and images, to painted abstractions. Shakinovsky explores current political and social discourses while simultaneously referencing and reconstructing art historical edifices. Insurrection January 6th 2021 USA, SA National Anthem and China Floods 2023 are part of a new series of paintings. This series stems from internet images gathered over the past four years, covering wars, social unrest, migration and climate devastation.
