ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I call this character wearing a Nguni Head, Africa as he symbolises the typical black South African youth for me. The Nguni cattle are no ordinary breed they represent the pride of African tribal life, symbolic of wealth, status and manhood. So he is therefore no “Joe Public” face. The seated confrontational figure is set in a Gugulethu township scene near Cape Town from where he might well have originated. His clenched left fist projects threateningly forward into the viewer’s space, symbolic of anger and frustration held by many. This hand is contrasted by the constraining other hand as if to control or hold it back in some way.

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.
