TWENTY THOUSAND APPARITIONS
2017 / EVERARD READ / JOHANNESBURG
Twenty Thousand Apparitions deals with ghosts and ghostly figures in the artist’s trademark ambiguous way. The multi-media paintings and paper collages suggest the presence of countless ethereal, archetypal and sometimes playful images leaving themselves open to multiple interpretations. Erotic, sensual, mysterious and sometimes impish, they allude to the ephemerality of being and the transience of life.
