Royal Academy - William Kentridge
Over the last decade, William Kentridge shows have captured the imagination of the public. Always large in scale, ambitious in scope and astonishing in execution, he is South Africa’s most celebrated living artist.
Kentridge’s globally acclaimed practice spans across etching, drawing, collage, film and sculpture to tapestry, theatre, opera, dance, and music. The Johannesburg-born artist developed his early work during the apartheid regime of the 1980s, and his electrifying large-scale productions and animations have since been shown across the world.
The Royal Academy and exhibition designer Sabine Theunissen brief to DALD was for the lighting to create a theatrical immersive yet sensitive quality to the exhibition, as well as adhering to any conservation constraints.
The ‘William Kentridge’ exhibition has received outstanding five-star acclaim from the world’s press.
