16/07/2013 @ 8:00 am - 26/07/2013 @ 5:00 pm
freeOnly a few weeks away from their annual summer exhibition John Martin is bringing to their central London space the South African artist Phillemon Hlungwani for a mini-expo starting this next Tuesday.
In collaboration with Knysna Fine Art, John Martin Gallery are hosting a selection of charcol drawings by Phillemon Hlungwani. These drawings depict everyday life at the iconic Cullinan diamond mine in South Africa.
Tsengelendotwe trees and heavy local cultural influences present all over his works, attempting to depict local customs & living patterns which will certainly provide with a new look into this other part of the world and that as unfamiliar as it may seem to western visitors, it still represents a big percentage of how many South Africans live in the 21st century.
