Wayne Barker is a colourful, provocative and rebellious persona and artist who lives a life of seemingly endless outrageous incidents. He and his work are anything but boring, lending an ironic twist to the exhibition’s title. He firmly rejects the idea that art should be “idle navel-gazing”. What Barker presents instead is work that is arresting, incisive and a challenge to political perceptions and understandings, morality, authority and values.

For this exhibition, ‘Super Boring’, he has produced a new body of work that confronts and questions the new South African culture in all its diverse manifestations, while celebrating the underlying force and spirit of optimism that binds and drives our unique country.
