DAVID MBELE  "MAN UNDER UMBRELLA"

Mbele's work belongs to the genre of township art. The subject matter of his paintings is the life of the Black man in the cities, portrayed with individual figures or groups of figures. They are shown going about their everyday activities, for example reading a newspaper, selling and delivering milk, running errands, or enjoying a drink.His paintings have proved to be immensely popular because they have certain qualities which appeal to the general public, for example, their atmosphere and the feeling of pathos and piety in some of them.

His figures are bold and big. He makes very little attempt at including finer detail in his pictures and he creates the human figure mainly through big circular and curvilinear forms. There is a considerable amount of bodily distortion in these figures, which at times contributes to the success with which he manages to express particular emotions or moods.

Mbele is a graphic artist producing etchings and linocuts. He works mainly in pastels, chalks and he prefers earthy colours such as shades of brown, ochre and yellow, with black, white and grey for emphasis.
