Kefilwe Mokopane is as daring as they come.

Asked why he is into contemporary abstract cubism, which many Batswana do not seem to appreciate, the artist responds: "I have never intended my works to be imitations, rather I wanted them to have their own originality."

According to Mokopane, a 'revolutionary movement' in the early 20th century pioneered abstract art. At around the same time, the 'pioneers' declared that abstract cubism was a work of art that existed on its own right rather than as a representation of the real world.
