When the music stops: how the Taliban’s fear of art is killing Afghan culture

Musicians and artists are living in a state of terror. Can the country’s identity as a ‘crossroads of cultures’ survive a policy of strict repression?

Alejandro Almanza Pereda’s “Horror Vacui” is a thought-provoking contemporary sculpture series that challenges the viewer’s perception of space and the value of art. The series, which was exhibited during the 15th Istanbul Biennial, features Romantic-style landscape and genre paintings sourced from Istanbul, each altered by the addition of concrete. This juxtaposition of classical art with a modern and industrial material invites reflection on the processes of human construction and the transformation of spaces.

The title “Horror Vacui”, meaning ‘fear or dislike of empty spaces’, alludes to a visual technique where negative space is filled with detail, which is mirrored in Pereda’s work as he fills the pictorial plane with concrete. This series not only represents a physical layering but also signifies the layering of history, values, and the evolution of taste from hand-crafted artistry to the utilitarian use of concrete in modern design.

This is stunning. I love the contrast between the athlete running and the tree falling. The rainbow coloured flames is probably symbolising his passion for running and the red flowers his desire to kill.

It wilk make more sense if you quote the post you referring to as this thread has been bumped multiple times.

My 8 year old niece can make smudges better than that.

My two favourite local artists are John Meyer and Sasha Hartslief. Both oil-on-canvas.

John's stuff is glorious and I've seen his pieces sold for one to one and a half million South African Rhonds.

Anyway, here are a few examples of his single and sequential naratives:



He also did a series based on the Boer War. which I think is astonishing.



Sasha's work is similar, difference is you can afford 'em and I have one...
