Pat Mautloa

Andries Oliphant

Kagiso Pat Mautloa, a Johannesburg-based artist, draws his inspiration from street culture, the dynamics of the changing city and the images and people he encounters there. A graduate of the Rorke's Drift Art and Craft Centre, he was involved in many of the local and international artists' workshops of the '80s and early '90s that helped a whole generation of black artists emerge onto the art scene despite the apartheid strictures imposed on them. He was a founding member of the Fordsburg Bag Factory and his studio is still there, filled with pieces of the urban debris collected on his daily walks through the city. Andries Walter Oliphant's text includes incisive commentary on Mautloa's installation, assemblage, print and mixed media works.
