Many art historians and academics have pondered how to characterise Feni’s evocative art. Many agree that his works are marked by the painful histories related to violence against Black individuals and the effects of apartheid. Feni’s drawing shows both pain but also resilience, evoking a sombre hope for spiritual and physical liberation.
