‘Omens in hot bacon contradiction’ is a new body of work by Anna van der Ploeg created in the David Krut Workshop in Johannesburg. Comprising oil paintings, sculptural woodblocks, and new collaborative etching editions and unique paintings on paper, van der Ploeg continues to probe notions of performativity, concealment, and tenderness in social interactions.

The images are a humorous take on stereotypical, inaccurate and fantastical tales that foreigners sometimes believe – of wild animals walking in the streets of Johannesburg, or people keeping them as pets. Johannesburg is considered as a ‘concrete jungle’ – a mix and match of natural and urban, old and new, home-grown and cosmopolitan.
