Born in Cape Town in 1988, Joseph Klibansky quickly made a name for himself on the international art scene with his ‘new media’ digital images.
Klibansky makes largescale, idealistic utopian portraits that are built up through hundreds of layers of photography enriched with acrylic paint on archival cotton paper overlaid with a liquid resin.
“I see my art as a way to portray the 21st century accompanied with a subtle vision of the future”
Neon Jungle is one of Klibansky’s latest digital paintings. It is a continuation of his New Urban Jungle theme that has formed a thread throughout his career since 2008 and there are similarities with his 2010 work ‘High Flyers’, which caused a stir in the art world when it went for a record price of 34.500 Euros at Sotheby’s.
