About this artwork

This three-part digital print reflects Alex Dordoy’s commitment to notions of fluidity. His practice blurs the boundaries between sculpture, painting and drawing as well as traditional and digital means of production. Each print has a background of two saturated blocks of colour over which an image of a distorted figure is printed. The figure is the South African middle-distance runner Caster Semenya. Dordoy followed her story after the widely publicised controversy over the athlete’s sex during the 2009 World Athletics Championships.
