William Kentridge's "Brutus Niles Ubu" series is a collection of artworks that reimagines and deconstructs the character of Ubu Roi, originally created by Alfred Jarry. Kentridge's series offers a unique interpretation of this iconic figure, often known for his absurdity and tyranny. Through drawings, animations, and mixed media, Kentridge explores Ubu's complex psychology, political commentary, and the human condition. The series challenges viewers to reconsider the significance of Ubu Roi in contemporary contexts and reflects Kentridge's distinctive artistic style, characterized by charcoal drawings and layered narratives.
