Artist Bhele Gallery

The artwork is inspired by the city centre or affectionately known as ‘downtown’ Johannesburg. It depicts the different struggles that exist in that part of town and were experienced by the artist both personally and at communal level. He moved around various areas from Marshalltown to Yeoville, encountering many professionals and migrants, who had turned into drug dealing and prostitution to make a living. The artwork is a mixed media collage of the different spaces he was exposed to, including disasters like the burning of a building of flats he once resided in, the people he knew who were either consumed by fire or lost belongings.
