This year, an unprecedented 1013 submissions were received from across South Africa, with 137 outstanding works making it to the final exhibition.
Pfunzo Sidogi, Chairperson of the Sasol New Signatures Competition, said: “In the five years I have served as the competition’s chair, this year’s final judging round was probably the toughest we’ve facilitated thus far. Among other things, words like ‘subtly compelling,’ ‘poignant,’ ‘technically virtuosic,’ ‘majestic work,’ ‘wonderful technique,’ and ‘carefully modelled’ were used by the judges to describe the nature of the artworks in the winner’s circle.
And this year, Miné Kleynhans takes home a cash prize of R100 000 and an opportunity to hold a solo exhibition at the Pretoria Art Museum in 2025. Meditations on Resentment imagines an intimate personal ritual that sanctions the experience and expression of resentment. This interactive work invites viewers to engage in a ritual with this secret and suppressed emotion by imaginatively and temporarily lifting the constraints that typically govern how resentment is managed. When encountering the artwork, participants are presented with the shiny, indented surface of the work, a brush with a sharpened end, and a bowl of sand.
