About the work

uGogo uthula iWashing, 2021

« My work is inspired by day-to-day life lived by black people who live in rural areas/townships, those people are my family, my uncles, aunts, the neighbours who have become sisters and also the sense of simplicity and community in rural areas also known as “emakhaya”. Having moved from KZN to the city of Johannesburg, I’ve struggled feeling “home” but rather have felt displaced for years. So through my paintings I have strived to capture the beauty of simple living and mundane things like sitting with family, watching my uncles during a family meeting...or my grandmother watching television. I then celebrate these moments and acknowledge the sense of community and make an awareness of the importance of representation of black people in modern art which is further elaborated in Zulu titled paintings. » — Zanele Montle
