Artyli Gallery was honored to present " Ubuntu" , a captivating exhibition at SCOPE Art Fair in Miami (3-8 December 2024), featuring the works of prominent South African artists Andrew Ntshabele.
In response to many inquiries, particularly for the smaller artworks, Andrew has created a new selection of works, especially for you.
" In Ntshabele’s artworks, children are the blessing and the inspiration. Here they are seen. Buoyancy is the striking energy, the subtle interplay of sepia and rich color, earthiness and splendor. Given the sentimentality that typically informs how children are seen, Ntshabele asks us to weigh innocence and growth, to maintain purity despite ruin. Given that in many of the paintings the women and children are seen from behind – as though removed and separate – it suggests that the painter wants us to be privy to worlds beyond our ken. Intimacy yet distance is the means through which the paintings ensure their enduring pleasure." Ashraf Jamal
