Art Exhibition Esther Mahlangu
Esther is best known for abstract works in her signature Ndebele idiom, and this exhibition will feature several new examples. In some works, she employs the vivid acrylic colours typical of Ndebele house decoration, and in others the more muted, earthy colour of natural pigments. She also uses cow dung which, like acrylic paint, is used extensively in her home environment as decorative and functional surfaces. Its unadulterated presence enhances the symbolic content of her paintings.
