Cyrus Kabiru , 'Macho Nne 13 (White House Spider)'
Est: R50,000 - R70,000
pigment ink on HP premium satin photographic paper (sheet size: 150 x 120 cm; framed size: 153 x 123 x 3 cm) Provenance: Private collection, Cape Town. SMAC Gallery, Cape Town. ABOUT THE ARTWORK Cyrus Kabiru is an innovative artist whose work seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship, design, fine art, fashion, and performance. He is best known for his evolving C-Stunner collection – exquisite, sculptural eyewear crafted from found objects. Embracing an Afrofuturist vision, Kabiru adopts an alter ego when donning these creations, often serving as the model for his striking self-portrait series. Macho Nne 05 (Westgate) (lot 49) and Macho Nne 13 (White House Spider) (lot 50) are powerful, visually compelling works that invite direct engagement. The term ‘Macho Nne,’ meaning ‘four eyes’ in Swahili, is a title Kabiru uses for these photographs, symbolising the transformative effect of wearing his C-Stunners. It is Kabiru's own face that breathes life into these images, adding a layer of authenticity and personal connection. The design of each C-Stunner is guided by intuition, with each piece embodying a story woven into the materials Kabiru selects. The titles Westgate and White House Spider reference real-life events and personal experiences that hold significance for the artist, enriching the narrative depth of the artworks. Both photographs are part of Kabiru’s celebrated 22-piece series, which debuted in his 2015 solo exhibition in South Africa. The entire first edition of this series, including the original C-Stunners, is now housed in the permanent collection of the Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town. COLLECTOR’S NOTE: The photograph is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist. The first edition of the photograph forms part of the permanent collection of Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town. In 2020, Cyrus Kabiru was selected for the Apollo 40 Under 40 Africa list of the continent’s most influential rising artists, thinkers, patrons and advocates. He was also listed among the top six standout artists represented at Paris Photo in 2019.
