AfroFabRicatiOn by Louis Masai

Louis is famed for his large scale, street pieces depicting animals adorned with human attributes. His work currently focuses on African Fabric patterns and animals, this concept has crept seamlessly into this exciting new collection of work in the form of the Pencil Case Thieves.

Louis Masai Michel explores the concept of human as animal through the painting of anthropomorphised creatures – adorning them with sentiment, attributes and paraphernalia of the modern world.
"In my humanimaltations I seek to challenge how the viewer tolerates his or her own bestial nature, alongside relating to the struggle for survival faced in the animal kingdom."
