W. Mandla Koboka (South African) - Soweto Township - Oil on Canvas Painting
About the Item
Oil on Canvas on Board "Soweto Township" Painting
by South African artist Welcome Mandla Koboka,
who was one of the earliest representatives of the Township Art Movement.
(1941 - 1997)
South African School
Signed "W. Koboka" and dated "88" lower right
45cm x 60cm
During 1961 W. Koboka studies under Cecil Skotnes and
Ephraim Ngatane at the Jubilee Art Centre.
He Draws his subject matter from the daily life in the townships,
the hustle and bustle of the street scenes,
women shopping, youngsters making music etc.
These he portrays in a vigorous and bold manner.
Koboka has developed into a mature painter
with considerable technical skill.
Its most recognizable feature is his style of abstraction,
achieved by the simplification of his subject matter.
He developed a palette knife technique
which allowed him his trademark surface treatment,
resulting in a gritty, graphic feel.
He has participated in numerous group exhibitions
including the Black Art Today Exhibition held in 1981,
as well as private exhibitions in
Johannesburg, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Cape Town.
