BILLY MOLOKENG ART

 BILLY MOLOKENG

Billy Molokeng being versatile, dynamic and inventive has kept his work fresh and ever changing. He does so in order to ensure that he and his art do not become stereotyped. His early paintings portray scenes taken directly from life in the townships. The compositions of these early works are dense and on a single plane, usually with several figures depicted in a bold and heavy manner. His individuality and originality, however, is still strongly evident. His figures are lively and filled with movement, containing a subtle humour, underlying joy and light-heartedness with which, so many art lovers can relate and enjoy.

Currently, Billy Molokeng presents a strong sense of “Africa” within his paintings. Their potency and appeal lie in his bold use of colour, his strong compositions and his unique use of his medium. The acrylic and oils are used as an overlay, which is often scratched away to create different textures and layers, as well as expose various underlying colours. His use of black strengthens and enhances the burnt sienna’s, ocher’s, gold’s, greens and blues as well as emphasizing his trademark white and black eyes of his figures.

His artworks are appreciated by thousands and are part of many private and public collections in South Africa and abroad
