ANCIENT painting by Wilson Ngoni PIC: THALEFANG CHARLES

"He had something hard in him, something like a testicle." This is how artist Wilson Ngoni describes his brilliant painting titled 'Ancient', which shows an old wrinkled man, light in complexion and pensively staring into the distance.

Ancient was the poster image for Ngoni’s The Human Experience solo exhibition at the Nhabe Museum in Maun and it is not for sale.

Ancient was completed in March 2018 and it debuted at Ngoni’s 2018 exhibition titled Relentless at the Thapong Visual Arts Centre in Gaborone. But Ngoni says he is not ready to part ways with the old man just yet. “Maybe the time to sell it has not come,” he said during the Mmegi tour of The Human Experience in Maun.
