Reimagining RastaArtist as more than just the man who makes people laugh with his portraiture, but as the leader and creator of a new art movement - art comedy.

In the humanities field, we are charged with the preoccupation of rethinking and reimagining everything. From rethinking law to reimagining black bodies and rethinking the archive, nothing is safe from some sort of “re-iring”., when my training immediately kicks in. I reimagine Rasta’s work.

The debater in me then asks: Does all this matter? I am then reminded that when an artist publishes their work, they are no longer in control: the audience decides. Meaning and significance lie with us. The overarching quality of Rasta’s work is its humour. His process is unique in this offering. “Could it be the start of a new art movement?” I ask myself. Whatever Rasta is doing ticks all the boxes for establishment of one: it has a common philosophy, goal and it stretches far enough in terms of his back catalog.
