YOUNG NGUNI - $1500 USD | R20 000 ZAR | 1.2m x 1.2m

It's the painting thats wild, not the actual animal! This Nguni was painted primarily for the Constantia Art Fair 2024. You can feel the confidence in the style in this one as It's a result of many done before him. I believe Glen Cambell's Rhinestone Cowboy was the song of choice that kicked off this painting. From there it got super loose with Walon Jennings and some deep Country! I also like the crop of his head coming in from the right. Something different than head on.
I stick to a simple process that creates a smooth purchace experience. Especially when buying art from abroad.
