About The Artwork
Young boys so often like to be cowboys, same thing here at the Cape. Unfortunately due to social environment their sense of outdoor adventure, as they grow older, can often turn to more sinister gangsterism crime, theft and murder. The Nguni cattle head is a symbol of pride in African tribal culture, their wealth and status, whereas the cowboy today has now becomes a symbol of aggression and violence. This work has been based on my previous drawing The Nguni Head Man. As society changes, so it does in Cape Town... Gang Town? Are things not getting more out of hand? The fist of my centre character holds a gun now, as guns eventually will be fired. I rather keep my positive story. The stronger right arm holds that gun arm under control, because people always have a choice. Are we cowboys or crooks. Cape Town or Gang Town.

My Pencil drawings are highly detailed and complex graphic works of a sensitive nature. Juxtaposed, closely observed scenes of life in Cape Town. These works are controversial and provocative, often poignant, a little intriguing and quite emotive. Each drawing tells it’s own tale. My inspiration, as an artist is from a variety of truly, original local heroes that tell exciting visual stories of contrast and contradiction found in the environment around me. Cape Town is known for it’s bright colour and even brighter characters. Black & white are the colours I choose as they have given this land its unique diverse history. Storytelling is a predominant thread throughout my contemporary work. I call it Cape Town Stories.
