About "Vuselela" This is one of three very large paintings of Nguni cattle done in 2004 as part of an ongoing series on the subject. I had been involved in the Keiskamma Art Project in the Ciskei area of the Eastern Cape and had become very interested in the culture and aesthetics of the indiginous cattle. In 2007 I completed the last of the series. I have made much of the decorative qualities of the hide of this "tollie" or young male calf and enjoyed the moment as he stuck out his tongue. What is most impressive is the fact that the image is actually larger than life-size and thus tends to be very dramatic and overwhelming. |
