Using his impressions of Africa as a departure point for this series of new works, Hajek combines a sense of wonder inspired by the continent's natural beauty with a darker look at its social and political reality. The result is a body of work that, whilst visually beguiling at first glance, expresses a series of more complex concerns. Dark Clouds are Gathering at the Whatiftheworld Gallery in Cape Town 2011. 23 5/8 x 31 1/2, acrylic on wood.
