The artwork “Mellow Fellow” was firstly born through a collaborative effort by Samurai Farai & Jared Aufrichtig. The artwork quite simply is an expression of identity. The figures in the foreground are almost shadowed by the figures behind it. Representing a second personality or even hidden emotion that can be considered universal in society. The alluring lemon gradient background aims to highlight the almost formless lines that bring the characters to light and create a visual connection between them. The background juxtaposes the graphic use of lines and tonality to create an impression, a sensation of our character and their mood. Which we leave up to the imagination of the viewer.

Farai Engelbrecht, formally known as Samurai Farai is an independent contemporary artist from South Africa. His work focuses around cubist portraiture inspired through the characteristics of artists like George Condo, Basquiat and Picasso. Taking inspiration from the details of the people in society, the happenings and nuances between human dynamics and the conversation of what occurs beneath the surface of all of us as people: emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. A large facet of his work is mental health and creating awareness as well as conversation around the topic. The multiple versions of self that one human can possess, using bright, bold and courageous colour and use of line to communicate an almost optimistic and childlike hope of visual understanding.
