'Hail to the Thief'
Brett Murray at Goodman GalleryBrett Murray returns with a new body of satirical work that continues his acerbic attacks on abuses of power, corruption and political dumbness. Whereas his last show, 'Crocodile Tears', sought to parody Mbeki’s still-born African Renaissance, 'Hail to the Thief' uses the populist imagery and language currently in vogue with the present powers that be to mock and goad. Murray’s bronzes, etchings, paintings and silkscreens form part of a vitriolic and succinct censure of bad governance and are an attempt to expose humorously the paucity of morals and greed within the ruling elite.
