About "Mandela's Stolen Memories"

Mandela inspired me the most, with his birthday around the corner,I just felt I needed to do a painting of him. I deliberately went black and white with black background, as he is the father of the nation, black or white, but with the sacrifices that he made, never got to live a life like we all did, hence the title "Stolen memories". He is serious-faced as he deserves respect and also because Mandela is always painted happy and in colour, I chose this classical black and white route as a rebellious move and also to view him as a legend and an icon.

About Neville

Neville Siyabulela St.Clair
I'm a self-taught artist and inspired by people and life. I am a proud South African who sees beauty in everything around me, especially hardship, as I am from a disadvantaged community.
I have been designing and making beautiful garments as a fashion designer for more than a decade and always knew there is an avenue in the art world where I can find peace of mind and help people see the beauty I see around me.
Painting brings calmness and closer to my family, more than other skills I have explored, and I feel this is where i really need to be.
I hope to be a famous artist and prove that you can make a living in paintings while you are still alive, not dead like most people say. I do wish to teach youngsters about painting, as I have already started with my two boys 6yrs and 9 years old.

Exhibitions

I exhibit my work at Bonani bed and breakfast and now planning on finding more accommodation areas to hang my work. I am planning, with other submerging artists to have a few exhibitions in the year 2011. I've been in the painting industry for a minute already, but will make waves with selected artists that are still underground, I'm sure from 2011 onwards, watch this space!!!!
