Al het die w\u00eareld skynbaar sy rug op satire gedraai, vier Anton Kannemeyer en Conrad Botes<\/span> van Bitterkomix hulle vennootskap van 35 jaar met \u2019n nuwe boek waarin ongeveer 1 000 van hulle tekeninge opgeneem is, skryf Diane de Beer<\/strong><\/span>.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Daar is geen beter rekord van \u2019n kunstenaar se ontwikkeling as sy eie sketsboeke nie. D\u00edt beaam Conrad Botes en Anton Kannemeyer van Bitterkomix wat al sedert 1989 \u2019n groot gros volgelinge vermaak met hulle skerp satiriese blik op ons skewe w\u00eareld. <\/p>

Die twee kunstenaars het met die digter Danie Marais gesels oor hulle nuutste publikasie, Bitterkomix Sketchbooks and Journals<\/em>, waarin ongeveer 1 000 van hulle tekeninge opgeneem is en waarmee hulle hulle vennootskap wou vier.<\/p>

Dit was \u2019n groot storie om te besluit oor die inhoud en hoe om dit saam te stel, maar hulle is \u2019n gedugte span. \u2019n Mens kom gou agter die beplanning was waarskynlik net so snaaks soos hulle sketse \u2013 dis duidelik hier is soms \u2019n armdruk of iets dergliks ingespan om die eindproduk te bedredder. <\/p>

Bitterkomix se vroe\u00ebre werk is in hulle studentejare in die destydse linksgesinde liter\u00eare tydskrif Stet<\/em> gepubliseer. Hoewel dit goed ontvang is en hulle stilletjies opgewonde geraak het, het daar niks van gekom nie. <\/p>

Oudergewoonte was dit eers nadat hulle in 1999 uitgenooi is na Frankryk en hulle eerste internasionale blootstelling gekry het, dat mense ook plaaslik begin gons het. Maar ook d\u00edt was nie noemenswaardig of langdurig nie. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Konserwatiewes wou ons nog altyd \u2018cancel\u2019 maar kon dit nooit regkry nie. Die \u2018left\u2019 het dit oornag reggekry, verduidelik hulle. <\/span><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Op 7 Januarie 2015 word joernaliste van die satiriese weekblad Charlie Hebdo<\/em> aangeval (11 is dood en 10 beseer) deur twee broers wat wraak wou neem omdat die tydskrif spotprente van die profeet Mohammed gepubliseer het. Hoewel die w\u00eareld die aanvalle afgekeur het, het dit aanvanklik \u2019n groot invloed op die werk van die twee plaaslike spotters gehad. En toe, net so skielik, draai die w\u00eareld en besluit miskien is satire ni\u00e9 aanvaarbaar nie. <\/p>

The New York Times<\/em>, een van die w\u00eareld se invloedrykste koerante, het ontslae geraak van hulle eie satiriese spotprente. Hoewel al hierdie gebeure \u2019n invloed op die Bitterkomix-span gehad het, het hulle nie ophou teken nie. As hulle iewers saamgereis het, het hulle saamgeteken. Hulle praat van die sketse as \u201cdoubles\u201d \u2013 di\u00e9 waaraan hulle saamgewerk het. En die vennootskap hou al vir 35 jaar! <\/p>

Dis nie altyd maklik nie, gee hulle toe, maar omdat hulle van die begin af dinge saamgedoen het, het hulle \u2019n sekere werksetiek ontwikkel. \u201cKompetisie was beslis stimulerend,\u201d beaam die twee, en hoewel hulle as studente soms mekaar aangevat het met hulle sketse, het die spanwerk oor die jare albei se werk gebaat. <\/p>

Anton vertel byvoorbeeld hoe hy deur die nag geteken het, miskien om \u2019n voorsprong te kry, en hoe Conrad dan verwoed sou inspring \u201cto up the ante\u201d!<\/p>

Hulle het ook deur hulle studentejare begin wonder wanneer hulle werk sou begin profesioneel lyk. \u201cEk het besef dis \u2019n besluit wat jy self oor jou werk moet neem,\u201d verduidelik Anton. <\/p>

Om die impetus aan te wakker het hulle ook ander studente betrek, maar daar was \u2019n streng keuringsproses. \u201cAs daar wel so \u2019n bietjie van \u2019n beweging geskep word, wil mense deel daarvan word,\u201d voeg Anton by. \u201cDit gee energie aan die proses en spoor almal aan om beter te teken.\u201d Maar hulle het nie enige hulp sommer net aanvaar nie. \u201cOns het eers gekyk of dit by ons werk pas,\u201d s\u00ea Conrad. <\/p>

Hulle voel albei wat hulle destyds op universiteit vermag het, vandag taboe sal wees. Hulle dosente het baie gehelp. \u201cDit help nie as mense net s\u00ea iets is \u2018nice\u2019 nie. Hulle het ons laat verstaan dat as ons werk soos Goya of Renoir gelyk het, sou hulle nie vir ons kon help nie!\u201d s\u00ea Anton. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Anton glo die ‘cancel’-kultuur van die skooljare se\u00ebvier nou selfs deur universiteit en hy weet nie of dit gaan verander nie. Dis asof mense nie meer verskillende opinies verdra nie, meen Conrad. <\/span><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Hulle het deur die jare besef hulle werk is uniek. Selfs deur die swaar tye toe hulle werk skielik as rassisties gebrandmerk is in die sterk swaai teen satire, het hulle eenvoudig aanhou teken en skaaf aan hulle tegnieke en vaardighede en saam met die tye beweeg. <\/p>

\u201cKonserwatiewes wou ons nog altyd \u2018cancel\u2019 maar kon dit nooit regkry nie. Die \u2018left\u2019 het dit oornag reggekry,\u201d verduidelik hulle.<\/p>

Anton glo die \u201ccancel\u201d-kultuur van die skooljare se\u00ebvier nou selfs deur universiteit en hy weet nie of dit gaan verander nie. Dis asof mense nie meer verskillende opinies verdra nie, meen Conrad. <\/p>

Eintlik is dit die doel van kunstenaars om vrae te vra, maar nou word hulle beskuldig van die een of ander agenda.<\/p>

Maar as \u2019n mens die veggees van hierdie twee vryheidsvegters in ag neem, is dit duidelik hulle gaan aanhou die draak steek en met wyshede wikkel, soos hulle met hulle nuwe boek bewys.<\/p>

Hoe dan anders? Hulle aanhangers verwag niks anders van hulle nie. <\/p>
