The 'Monday Gallery' - few, if any, words and just a painting or piece of art that has some resonance or link to contemporary events.
The story I wanted to highlight this week is the ongoing tragedy in Zimbabwe. Images of Africa in 'Western Art' are relatively few although Picasso, Matisse and others drew significant influence from native African art in their later work. It then occurred to me that it might be a better idea to show a piece by a contemporary Zimbabwean artist.
I have no information about the particular paining above but it's by Bulawayo based artist Albert Moyo. Albert was a student at Mzilikazi Art Centre and I came across his paintings at africancolours.net and african-easel.com.
