    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 artwork creates a vivid confluence of pop culture and iconic symbolism, weaving together diverse references into a dynamic visual narrative.

    Andy Warhol’s reinterpretation of Venus serves as the central figure, embodying timeless beauty while bridging classical art and modernity.

    The bold typography of Robert Indiana’s iconic “LOVE” infuses the piece with a universal message, juxtaposed with the playful yet symbolic presence of Keith Haring’s radiant heart, representing life, connection, and emotional intensity.

    Adding an unexpected twist, the mischievous snake Kaa from The Jungle Book winds through the composition, a reminder of temptation and storytelling’s enduring power.

    Meanwhile, Tintin and his loyal dog Snowy charge forward, their adventurous energy bringing a sense of curiosity and exploration to the piece.

    The interplay of these elements forms a dialogue between classical and contemporary, the mythical and the everyday. This layered composition invites viewers to reflect on the shared cultural lexicon, exploring how icons from different eras and genres resonate and redefine meaning within a collective imagination. Through this assembly of vibrant imagery, the artwork celebrates the harmony and tension between nostalgia, creativity, and reinvention.

    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.
