Annamieke Engelbrecht
Annamieke Engelbrecht iss is a Cape Town-based artist providing a critical commentary on internet culture and the impact of modern technology on contemporary life. Working primarily in oil paint, she intentionally juxtaposes the slow, labour-intensive process of painting with the frenetic, instant-gratification pace of the digital world. Her layered paintings, often disguised self-portraits, are inspired by the aesthetics of pixelated, low-resolution YouTube videos, critiquing a culture of quick clicks and superficial engagement.
In addition to her paintings, Engelbrecht's practice includes performance art where she transforms her own body into a canvas. She creates striking costumes that embody personal traits typically reserved for her closest circles, allowing the self-proclaimed introvert to express herself with a bold confidence in a "caterpillar-to-butterfly" metamorphosis. Esteemed art critic Llody Pollak praised her work for its depth, stating, “Annamieke teaches us something far more profound than the mere act of glancing. She teaches us how to behold.”
