Matsoso’s art emphasises form, and is imbued with a sculptural presence. The figure suggests a fusion of opposing elements (man/beast, man/woman, coloniser/colonised). Hence, the work can be read as denoting a diversity of conflicts and resolutions between opposing forces, and the embodiment of these contestations within the human form.
