       Robin Rhode is a mixed media artist that has an interesting focus towards his work; his work involves having more movement within his art. These particular movement can have some form of meaning, depending on where or when. The materials, as well as the medium he uses also play an important factor within his works as well. Rhode was also known to be a street artist and made most of his work in South Africa, the same country where William Kentridge originated his work.  Time: 14:00       One work that Robin Rhode did was an assortment of wall art he has created in Johannesburg.
