Jane Alexander is one of the most significant South African artists working today. Her animal-human sculptures, photographs, and dramatic installations speak of lasting disfigurations in her native South Africa, yet raise issues about human nature that resonate with viewers internationally. Alexander's hybrid-mutants inhabit a universe where boundaries between self and other, human and animal, are unstable, where shared foundations and clashing differences are disclosed, and where the grotesque and the familiar entwine. Alexander "has arguably created and developed one of the most compelling personal galaxies of the contemporary art universe." (Pep Subiros, On Being Human)
