Albert Einstein
" I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play."

Ferdinand Kidd

Colbert Mashile Is a young artist from Johannesburg Who's Work deals with tradition, customs and rituals as well as attitudes prevalent in society. As a young boy, Mashile had to undergo certain circumcision rites that left him with a lot of emotional trauma and psychological confusion.

The work depicts shadowy images deriving from the emotional experiences of initiation. Formally the work seems hard and unforgiving to beauty-seeking eyes. I try to be as truthful as possible such as the use of earthy colours and jagged edges. Driven by the turmoil from within, Mashile’s technique is quick and loose in style, allowing the direction of his image to be the result of his intuitive response to the etching techniques.

In sharp counterpoint to the monotypes, the small linocuts offer a glimpse of Mashile’s delicacy of touch and his ability to make full use of the contrasts permitted by the application black ink to the lino. The characters in J.M.Coetzee’s novel Life and Times of Michael K inspire the figures in this series and they convey something of the alienation and sadness expressed in the work.
