`SANDILE ZULU - TAXI ART` BOOK BY COLIN RICHARDS, FIRST EDITION

"SANDILE ZULU - TAXI ART"  BOOK BY COLIN RICHARDS, FIRST EDITION

Sandile Zulu has, over the last decade, developed a working method that relies as much on rhythm and repetition as it does on the unpredictability of the elements fire, water, found objects he uses. As Colin Richards notes in his meticulously researched essay, a pyromancer, a collector of natural elements, and a scavenger after industrial debris. Zulus wide-ranging interests in science, astronomy, and pan-African philosophy, and his innovative use of fire have resulted in a body of work that stands up to rigorous interpretation but conveys a profound appreciation of patterns and harmony.

Important pieces such as Royal Court Art Work and hisArtomic Passagesseries, attest to a meditative aesthetic philosophy, a disciplined artistic practice, and a keen awareness of the often-difficult relationship between art and society. Sandile Zulu has participated in numerous group exhibitions both locally and abroad, and his work is in many private and public South African collections. In July 2005 he mounted his first international solo show in London.

Colin Richards has published widely on South African art and curated several major exhibitions. He lectures in art criticism, studio practice, and art theory at the Wits School of Arts, and is a practising artist whose work is included in most major South African public collections.
