oil, gold leaf and found objects on unstretched canvas (290 x 252 cm unframed; 197 x 109 cm unframed) Qty: (2) Provenance: Private collection, Johannesburg. ABOUT THE ARTWORK This magnificent large-scale work by the internationally recognised artist Ayanda Mabulu was created for the Bekezela Community Foundation (BCF) in partnership with the Clipper 2023-24 Race. BCF, founded by Inkosi Thandisizwe Mpungose, creates opportunities for youths in disadvantaged or rural parts of South Africa, whilst simultaneously focusing on preserving and protecting the diverse cultures and heritage within the country. The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is a biennial sailing contest that takes amateur crews on one or more legs of a circumnavigation of the globe. Bekezela Community Foundation hopes to create a culture of sailing within its community and to unlock economic opportunities for further inclusion and exposure of rural and impoverished younger generations. Mabulu, a multi-disciplinary creator, well known for having a bold and unwavering voice in the South African artworld, was chosen to design the artwork that would envelope the yacht during this global journey. Untitled, two was the initial painting before the work was transferred to the vessel. The artwork beautifully boasts enchanting figures – a mermaid, another wrestling with a crocodile and a female staring directly into the eyes of a lion. These figures magnify the artist’s vision to restore pride and dignity to all the African people who, through violent journeys across the ocean during colonialism, were taken from their ancestral lands and cultures. Mabulu states that he also wanted to portray the deep connection that people from the African continent feel with water, especially as it related to spiritual and cleansing practices.[1] [1] Clipper Round the World.

AYANDA MABULU & DONG XIAOZHUANG (SOUTH AFRICA 1981-; CHINA 1953-) MEMORIAL CITY 2
Est: R40,000 - R60,000
Ayanda Mabulu & Dong Xiaozhuang (South Africa 1981-; China 1953-) Memorial City 2 oil on canvas (99 x 99 cm; framed size: 134 x 134 x 5 cm) Qty: (1) Provenance: Private collection, Johannesburg. Notes: During the early stages of Ayanda Mabulu’s career, he travelled to China three times between 2011 and 2014. The first time would be via an invitation by the Chenshia Art Foundation for an exchange programme, leading to a solo exhibition hosted by the Chensia Museum in Wuhan, titled Beautiful Imperfection1. Mabulu would return to China in 2014 for his second iteration of the showcase at the museum, Beautiful Imperfection2. In that same year, Mabulu participated in the AESFFC (Art Encounters Strangers from Five Continents) residency in Chengdu, China hosted by artist Dong Xiaozhuang. During this residency Mabulu collaborated on Memorial City 2 alongside Xiaozhuang, who hosted 5 other artists from five different continents, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and America, including artists, Aye Ko, Tony Scott and Emilio Carrazco Gutierrez.[1] Mabulu and Xiaozhuang would then go on to exhibit works at the showcase A Cosmo of one–ness at the Art-hotel Gallery, Chengdu (2014). Memorial City 2 forms part of the series of works that were created during that time. The artist states that listening to music is a very important process within his artistic practice and is carefully chosen depending on the work he is producing. In a way it becomes a conversation between the artist, the music and the surface of the canvas. In the case of Memorial City 2 and other works that were made during this time, Mabulu had been listening to the beloved South African saxophonist Zim Ngqawana. The musician made his mark at the historic inauguration of President Nelson Mandela in 1994, where he directed the 100 person Drums for Peace Orchestra. Advocating for a mindful authenticity and improvisational artistry in African, global and cosmic terms, Ngqawana would later be called ‘Zimology’. Appearing in bold orange lettering along the right of the canvas the term was originally coined for the musician’s ideas and teachings on the interface between music, spirituality and cosmology. The painting is highlighted with thick red brush strokes in the lower centre. This is a nod to the album cover of the music that inspired the artist, alongside a structure inspired by the spiritual presence that Mabulu had felt when he visited the Yellow Crane Tower built during the Qing Dynasty in Wuhan. This artwork had been one of the first collaborations with Xiaozhuang and for Ayanda it felt meditative as he delved into a pressing sense of solitude in this new country that would bring novel energy and a unique approach to his paintings that tested his previous stylistic boundaries.[2] Memorial City 2 bears the signature of both artists, and attests to the ability for art to overcome language and cultural barriers between two very different geo-cultures.
