'Dark Clouds are Gathering'

Olaf Hajek at Whatiftheworld/gallery

World renowned illustrator, Olaf Hajek shows a series of new works that draw on the artists impressions of Africa, and combine a diverse range of influences including folklore, mythology, religion, history, and geography. Hajek’s paintings transport us to a world of surreal juxtaposition and rearranged realities to explore a realm that is always strangely off kilter. More than anything else his work explores the opposition between imagination and reality in the context of western cultures.

This is his first exhibition in Africa, and will be accompanied by the release of his first major monograph published by Gestalten.
