One of the five artists currently exhibiting their work at Thapong Visual Centre gallery until May 6, 2021, Totang Motoloki has revealed that he gets inspiration from relief sculptures.

Relief sculpture is a complex art form that combines many features of the two-dimensional pictorial arts and the three-dimensional sculptural arts. On the one hand, a relief, like a picture, is dependent on a supporting surface and its composition must be extended in a plane in order to be visible.

“My works are about everyday life as Africans, I do use old tins, cloth, sand or anything that I come across which can fit into the work. One of my paintings is titled Promised Land. It is township settlement with old political poster, and it talks about everyday promises by politicians but people and settlements remain the same after years. Despite that the politicians will still come back after years to say the same things and people will still vote for them,” he explained to Arts & Culture in an interview.
