OFM Artbeat: William Humphreys art gallery presents Ligeze NgeNcokazi | News Article

Ceramicist iHubo leNgabadi, also known as Song of the Soil whose work arises from a contextual and spiritual base, joins Mid-Morning Magic’s Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Artbeat to chat about his exhibition at the William Humphreys art gallery (WHAG).

According to iHubo his work allows him to unravel, bring to the surface and navigate a path of creative impulses. These impulses draw their character from love, pain, resolve and happiness. Each work, as it is in process towards completion, is modeled with the spiritual powers that can be experienced by him (the artist).

“In my work a form follows an art expression because I may be inspired by my culture and tradition among many other things, but my work has its own life and meaning apart from the norms. That is why I usually say “I don’t just create ceramics, I create melodies and poetry with clay”. 

"My work is an extension of my culture, my tradition and it embodies all other aspects of life that influences my surroundings such as politics, religion and social life in general,” said iHubo.

The exhibition titled Ligeze NgeNcokazi is currently on at the William Humphreys art gallery (WHAG) in Kimberley, until the 27th of January 2023.
