Claudette Schreuders
Art direction, design and layout of this first major monograph on Claudette Schreuders. Schreuders lives and works in South Africa, and is known for her distinctive carved and painted wooden sculptures which, as Okwui Enwezor has observed, ‘propose a new language resulting from a synthesis of African and European figural forms’. The monograph brings together Schreuders’ works of the last 17 years, tracing her investigations into self-identity, isolation and belonging through the rich narratives of her various figurative groups.
