Dancer In The Dark
Oil pastel on paper
Eriko Tsogo’s Dancer in the Dark is an expressive exploration of movement, identity, and resilience. Rendered in oil pastel on paper, the piece radiates raw energy through gestural marks and a luminous yet shadowed palette. Tsogo captures a figure in flux—caught between emergence and disappearance, between presence and obscurity.
The work evokes a sense of emotional duality, where dance becomes both a form of liberation and a confrontation with the unknown. Through layered strokes and a charged interplay of color, Dancer in the Dark embodies the tension between vulnerability and strength, inviting the viewer into a moment of transformation suspended in time.

“My art is birthed out of a mix of pain, inspiration and personal experiences derived from the collective human condition. I find it most inspirational to be uncomfortable.”
