Stand4 (2020) – Oil and Varnish on Curtain
Standing as trace. — Stand4 condenses the body to what remains: legs, stance, imprint.
The figure sits against a patterned ground like a memory pressed into fabric — present, but never fully fixed.
This work belongs to the series Easy come and Easy go, in which Khanya visits waters and lets them “tell their stories and their matters.”
The curtain support carries that journey: texture, history, and the quiet violence of everyday surfaces.
Materiality
Oil and varnish on curtain combine image with a material that already holds traces.
The varnish behaves as a force: partially controlled, partially left to find its own way — and once dry, permanently fixed.
For Collectors
Stand4 belongs in rooms with intention: clear architecture, curated interiors, and collections that accept intensity and material honesty.
It is a work that stays with you because it refuses to resolve into something “pretty.”
