At 96cm x 94cm, this near-square work is versatile in scale and is the only Samkelo Matomela work in this batch confirmed as framed. Its combination of figurative painting, reading and dreamlike symbolism gives it broad visual accessibility while remaining grounded in the artist’s wider concern with knowledge and consciousness.
Between Pages and Dreams centres on a reader suspended within an expansive, luminous landscape of water, foliage and folded butterflies. The book becomes the focal point of the composition, transforming an everyday act into a space of contemplation and possibility. The work aligns closely with Matomela’s stated interest in reading and knowledge as forms of inheritance, awareness and resistance, presenting the figure not as passive but as an active bearer of intellectual agency.
Produced in Oil on canvas. The work is presented as supplied by the artist and documented by Perspective Art.
