PITIKA NTULI RETROSPECTIVE

The Pitika Ntuli Retrospective and Sculpture & Poetry Exhibition, Scent of Invisible Footprints – in Moments of Complexity opens at MuseuMAfricA in Newtown, Johannesburg on May 20.

Well-known in KZN arts circles, Pitika Ntuli achieved international acclaim while in exile as a sculptor, painter, poet, writer and academic. This is the first time he is exhibiting his works in his own country, South Africa.

A true ‘Renaissance Man’ the range of Pitika Ntuli’s activities and interests are reflected in his artwork. The culture and political experience of Southern Africa give the work its most immediate voice and images. At the same time the concepts and forms in the work engage viewers in a debate about representation, interrogating the relationship between art, culture and politics. His approach is both witty and deadly serious.

Scent of Invisible Footprints – in Moments of Complexity runs at MuseuMAfricA in Johannesburg until August 31.
