KRONE x WHATIFTHEWORLD is proud to present 40 under 40, a showcase of 40 artists under the age of 40, as a joint project with BMW Young Collectors Co., an initiative of FNB Art Joburg.
The selected works, created largely during the pandemic, address a world which demands renewed negotiations of intimacy and sociality. The artists’ responses span painting, photography, sculpture, and installation, and reflect on the one hand, a deep care for images which bind us to history and, on the other hand, an impulse to experiment with entirely new forms of expression. The exhibiting artists share a desire to create hybrid, often poetic forms that are a testament to their ability to meet challenges with innovation and sensitivity.
Placed together in conversation, these artists – some of whom are up-and-coming, while others are already well established – represent a generation determined to flip the script and manifest new ways of making and being in the world.
