Kind pockets

Richard Hart of Disturbance held his debut solo exhibition Whatiftheworld in Cape Town recently.

Kind Pockets is an exploration of the concept of the marsupial girl, an
imaginary archetype. Aesthetically the work references the visual vernacular of
popular youth culture, bringing to mind the work of artists such as Rita
Ackermann, Aya Takano and Yoshitomo
Nara. At surface level the work seems to deal with the ephemeral – themes
such as beauty, fashion, innocence and adolescence. But on closer inspection the
girls and their animal companions populate a disquieting world where the fragile
present threatens to shatter into something more sinister.
