Gerhard Human is a contemporary artist, animator and comic creator from Cape Town. His works function as windows into the disjunct of human nature: ideas about cultural stubbornness, short-sighted idealism and ignorance.
He has exhibited in galleries in South Africa, Amsterdam, New York, Paris and Sydney and is published online and in print. Gerhard’s multi layered graphic narrative keep you revisiting his work and coming away with something new every time.
Ever since we experienced Gerhard Humans art, at various exhibitions in Cape Town, we have been coming back for more. The amount of detail in each work adds to the layers of an intricately woven story, each an illustrative score of life through his lens.
'Everything in its right place' and 'Politics' are our newest releases from him and they both deliver layers of narrative and interplay between written, icons and detailed illustration.
