    Within South Africa we courier your artwork to your door - the shipping cost will show at the checkout.

    When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight.
    On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
    Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.

    We will be in touch regarding the best options for you.

    Description

    This vibrant artwork is a layered collage celebrating the intersection of iconic artists and their contributions to creativity and culture.

    It merges visual styles and motifs drawn from David Hockney’s vibrant Californian landscapes, evoked by the couple by the pool in bold colors and intimate composition.

    The pop-art depiction of Beethoven reflects Andy Warhol’s mastery of transforming historical and cultural figures into contemporary icons.

    Banksy’s stencil-like maid pulling back the wall adds a satirical, thought-provoking element, addressing hidden truths and societal commentary.

    Meanwhile, the green balloon animal sculpture nods to Jeff Koons’ playful exploration of consumer culture and the aesthetics of kitsch.

    Together, this composition underscores how these artists, across time and mediums, have reshaped the boundaries of art and popular culture, inviting viewers to reflect on the universality of artistic expression and its enduring resonance across generations.

    Madiboka

    Madiboka

    Madiboka is the pseudonym of a South African street artist who prefers to keep his passion for pop art and comics hidden. With formal training in design and art,
    he maintains anonymity while occasionally creating unique signature pieces by assembling parts of his favorite pop art and cartoon icons. His choice to incorporate African artisan craftwork, particularly beading, adds a distinct elevation to his art.

    Thokozani M is a multidisciplinary artist known for collaborating with international artists to introduce a beaded texture to their works. His portfolio includes pieces commissioned by notable institutions such as the Bank of Tanzania and the Mayor’s office in Tshwane. Collected by art enthusiasts in the USA and Europe, Thokozani M’s work is admired for its blend of sophistication and African beaded textures.

    Madiboka is now also represented by The Artists Gallery in Cape Town.
