Every time they have a disagreement I add more fire until I'm done with it.

Heated disagreement

1st pic by S.K.M Drawing the second one was done by K.U Mthethwa

Some one once said "push until your cousins or family posts you... because family members dont post you if you don't have money" I never loughed that hard. I'm not related to any of these artists but I'm proud to post their work👊🏽🤘🏽💯

This has more to do with saving electricity, but at the cost of the environment 🙆🏾‍♂️

It's been weeks since fnb art weekend but this years event was too proper 💯

Artist: Alfa Retlaw
Title: uNomyezane
Dimensions: 29cm*45cm
Year: 2024

Synopsis
The ndebele culture is a culture full of many right of passages to go through and this is the last stage. As an artist I find it interesting to attend their cultural events and find inspiration and more.

uNomyezane I'm still yet to find out what that name really means as the Ndebele people are secretive about the actual meaning of certain words they use. I understand it as "uMphelezeli ka makoti" because grandma's with this type of neck wear and head wear I see them mostly at weddings

It turned out mostly as ndebele, I'll see on the next one
