The combination of drawing and sculpture

The exhibited artworks provoke viewers and artists alike to re-examine their rigid meaning of both drawing and sculpture. While the two artists, Onalenna Motaung and Shepherd Ndudzo, are different in their own way, the languages of drawing and sculpture are interlinked.

Ndudzo’s work sings brilliance and most of his sculpture shown at the gallery in Thapong Visual Arts Centre is set apart by its elongated forms like the works entitled snail, winter and lady with coiffure. Ndudzo does not pay much detail into various elements but his work in the gallery like ‘Meerkat’ and ‘Genesis’ explicitly outlines his emphasis on shape and touch. His work is made from natural resources like wood. Ndudzo’s work like ‘journey home’ where he shows people in a combi demonstrates his ability to carve different patterns.
