South African artist Reggie Khumalo’s ‘Mental Revolution’ ponders the concept of Eden in modern-day Africa, asking the viewer to return to this metaphorical Eden, and become whole again.
Artist Reggie Khumalo paints with brushes dipped in memory of the past and visions of the future. Through his bold eye-catching paintings, he is on a mission to encourage viewers to imagine a continent where people are thriving together, and to ponder the meaning of ubuntu.
Africa is Khumalo’s Eden, and he encourages his audience to view his work hand-in-hand with the necessary introspection. After returning home to Eden, it is time for Africa’s people to thrive, he says. This concept of a united Africa has forced Khumalo to consider how the continent can deal with its problem of xenophobia. His resounding sentiment is that travel allows one to see through another’s eyes; offering new perspectives and worldviews.
