Street vendor on your wall?
GODFREY MOJADIBODU’S new exhibit runs from the 19 August 2005 to the 2 September 2005. If you love the city and are after authentic city street scenes and skylines, get your hands on one of his paintings. He is fascinated with the ‘staying-power’ and optimism of street vendors who patiently sell their loose cigarettes and phone-calls trying to make ends meet… ‘The internatio…nal renowned painter Godfrey Mojadibodu will be hosting a solo exhibition at the Gerard Sekoto Gallery at Alliance Franýaise.

This is about “people trying to found something to eat”, the hardships and the daily critical. The additional theme of “Modernism vs. Traditional life” also appears in this exhibition – With two large painting exploring the controversy around “Circumcision Schools. In these paintings Godfrey poses creative questions rather than catering to the sensationalism of this debate.’ GODFREY MOJADIBODU Alliance Francais Address: 17 Lower Park Drive, cnr Kerry Road, Parkview 19 August 2005 – 2 September...
