Anna van der Ploeg Omens in hot bacon contradiction

Anna van der Ploeg ‘Omens in hot bacon contradiction’

‘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. Through seemingly mundane objects such as the table and pull-tab poster, she evokes elements of performance and ritual in our everyday lives, attempting to reveal the ‘mercurial undercurrents’ of the interplay between people.

Johannesburg is considered as a ‘concrete jungle’ – a mix and match of natural and urban, old and new, home-grown and cosmopolitan.
