Notes : Main store JHB Creative layering is part and parcel of many of Nhlengethwa’s works, with his collage pieces providing alluring and complex additions to his output. These works may include the layering of various techniques, such as collage, painting, drawing and photography. The artist’s keen sensibility in relation to colour, line and form, however, effectively enables him to compose striking scenes in a manner few artists are able to replicate. Whether Nhlengethwa’s scenes depict jazz performances, physical spaces of Africa or more figurative subjects, his creative and unique approach to his selected materials always invites closer inspection.
Condition_report : The overall condition is fair. Minor paint crackling in areas, collage is slightly unstable in areas.
