SPEELMAN MAHLANGU(1958 - 2004) Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Mahlangu was educated at the Katlehong Art Centre, where he concentrated on both sculpture and painting. Mahlangus imagery is uniquely African and his works depict a dream world with its roots in Ndebele myths. During his life Mahlangu  was interested in South Africa´s "homecoming" to the African continent, and one is drawn into his timeless realm of southern African icons of traditional life, depicted almost as hieroglyphics. Ndebele artist Mahlangus works depict a dream world with its roots in Ndebele myths; Ndebele designs taught to him by the elder women; as well as Egyptian hieroglyphics, drums, and calabashes - all of which form recurring motifs in Mahlangus works. These he combines with figures, often therianthropic, placed within surreal landscapes. "My imagery draws on traditional practices inspired by my grandfather, who introduced me to the legends and symbolism of animals and ancestor sacrifice."
