As the show name suggests, veins of darkness run through what may at first glance appear to be a humorous body of work. Slegh’s first solo exhibition showcases work created in various mediums over the past few years ranging from paintings, screenprints, embroidery, animation, sculpture and more. The show revolves around his recurring dolphin character ‘Krinky Winky’ who has been the dominant subject in most of street and studio work since 2017. Slegh uses the dolphin as a mechanism to process life and experiment with different mediums and materials, he has dubbed it ‘Existential Dolphinism’. Drawing from his roots in graffiti culture, cartoons, street life, and even pop art Slegh tells tails of his experience of life in modern South Africa.
