George Masarira
'I am perhaps best described as a radical cosmopolitan artist. Technically, my works are a tapestry of hand gestures and brush strokes. Thematically, I am inspired by the contemporary cosmopolitan world that unfolds around me. I use my work to consider and document the lived truths of this environment, paying particular attention to its political, economic, ethnic beliefs and religious aspects. Because lived truths sometimes challenge dominant narratives about the world, my work is often provocative. I regard art as a philosophical and monumental task.'
