Brett Murray

Brett Murray staked out his artistic turf early in his career and has doggedly cultivated it ever since. Murray's impatience with political correctness, and disgust with the constraints imposed by artistic gatekeepers, has scarcely been disguised. This was demonstrated by The Spear in 2012, which became the most vilified work of art ever produced in South Africa. Murray was branded provocative, subversive, sardonic, bitter and an angry young artist. However, what mattered was that The Spear had transfixed the country. Art dominated the news and public discourse.
