Woke Up is a compelling oil painting that explores perception, identity, history, and the moment of becoming aware. A large face emerges in shades of blue, its gaze partially concealed by several hands stretching across the forehead and eyes. The overlapping hands create a striking sense of tension, suggesting the many forces that shape what we see, what we understand, and what we are permitted to recognise.
Gary Frier (b. 1972, Cape Town) creates culturally and socio-politically charged work. After graduating in Graphic Design (2004), he left the design industry for a personal artistic practice. His work juxtaposes contemporary and historical African elements with strong graphic quality, reflecting his place in the world. Frier also facilitates art and pottery at Valkenburg Psychiatric Hospital. His work is held in major collections, including Iziko South African National Gallery, and has been exhibited widely. He lives and works in Kuilsriver.
