Author: Mahlangu, Esther
This timely and striking volume offers a long-overdue exploration of the acclaimed South African artist whose practice defies divisions between 'traditional' and 'contemporary' art. Grounded in the visual language of her Ndebele heritage, Mahlangu transforms this lineage into a powerful tool for self-expression and dialogue. This title positions her work within contemporary discourse, rejecting reductive categorisations of her practice and affirming her place in the global art historical canon.She has exhibited at major institutions, including the Centre Pompidou and Louvre Abu Dhabi, and in 1991 became the first woman and African artist commissioned to create a BMW Art Car – joining a legacy that includes Andy Warhol and David Hockney. Mahlangu expands painting’s role in contemporary life, from monumental murals to brand collaborations.
