Eclectica Contemporary presents a new solo exhibition by Sorrel Hofmann entitled The Rape. Following on from her debut exhibition at the UCT Irma Stern Museum, this body of work examines the harm inherent in seemingly healing gestures and therapies, ranging from the environmental to the psychological. Consisting of paintings, sculptures, photography and large-scale installation, Hofmann takes seemingly everyday objects and minimalist artistic marks and weaves a complex and highly charged network of connections between them. The Rape forms the first part of an ongoing project by the artist entitled Freud and Friends and begins a process of seeking to untangle, critique and reimagine a nexus of control, prejudice and domination that pervades human existence in an increasingly globalised and spiritually fractured western-centred world.
