This work is unique.
A striking work by South African artist William Kentridge, *This work is unique.* combines Indian ink, coloured pencil, and collage elements layered over found pages to create a richly textured composition. Kentridge's signature approach melds drawing and archival material, allowing fragments of pre-existing text and imagery to surface beneath and alongside his expressive mark-making. The result is a visually dense interplay between history and gesture, where meaning accumulates through erasure, addition, and the tension between the found and the made.
