ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Liza Mahu and Liza are the main African gods. They are the twin children of Nana Buluku. The twins express the balance between earth and sky as Mahu is the female (water, earth, moon, fertility) and Liza is the male (fire, sun, sky, power). In the tribe of my local area, the Xhosa, they are called Langa and Nyanga. The hippo spends up to 16 hours a day submerged in rivers and lakes (water/female). By swallowing the sun the hippo tries to contain the masculine (fire) energy to achieve balance. This painting then seeks to examine the balance we are trying to achieve between these polarities (anima/animus).

Ann Gadd
South Africa
Ann is a vibrant and prolific artist, wildlife photographer, and author. She was voted in 2020 as one of South Africa's top artists. She initially became known for her ‘ewe/sheep’ series of work. Whilst maintaining her ironic humor she has painted a number of other series of works, including ‘Wild Life’ ‘Zulu Lulu’ and 'Going to the Dogs series. A recurring theme in her work is a play on words and the use of popular jargon. Her quirky, humorous, yet profoundly insightful art, allows the viewer not only to laugh at themselves but to examine many of the absurd aspects of life.
