Prince Tom’s artworks that were on display during his solo exhibition PICS: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

For his late mother, this would have been a moment to savour as visual artist Prince Tom staged a successful solo exhibition dubbed the ‘Ballad of a Butterfly’ last Friday at Grand Palm Hotel Casino Resort.

It was indeed a beautiful ode and a ballad to his late mother as the artist showcased 25 paintings and nine body art models. His mother, Khumo Tom, passed away in 2011 when he was doing his Form 1.

Her death coincided with the time he was introduced to Art as a subject. “She also must be so proud in her resting place. It was unlike anything we’d ever seen before. One would say a revolution of art in our time,” reflected Prince Tom.
