    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 beaded artwork is a collision of pop culture, art history, and luxury, drawing on iconic references to craft a playful yet thought-provoking narrative. The figure of Dagobert Duck (Scrooge McDuck) diving into a pool of gold symbolizes the endless pursuit of wealth, a theme reminiscent of Andy Warhol’s commentary on consumerism and mass production. The bold use of primary colors and geometric structures nods to Piet Mondrian’s abstract compositions, grounding the piece in a framework of artistic modernism.

    On the other hand, the elegant woman in a black dress holding a cigarette holder evokes the timeless glamour of Audrey Hepburn’s portrayal of Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. This juxtaposition creates a dialogue between high fashion, aspiration, and the pursuit of riches, questioning societal values.

    The intricate beadwork technique adds a tactile dimension to the artwork, transforming these familiar motifs into a labor-intensive medium that celebrates craft while engaging in a critique of materialism. It is a work that transcends boundaries, merging cultural icons with a reflection on contemporary desires and identities.

    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.
