Скачать или смотреть Ribola Art Route: Thomas Kubayi - "Follow The Grain"

Online shop launching 31 August 2020

Artist, mentor and teacher, Mafemani Thomas Kubayi is a passionate man. He listens intently to the wood, hearing the story buried beneath the surface and he coaxes it to the surface, cutting away the excess until it emerges. Madiba pushes his fist to the sky while the lovers in a covid-conscious community turn masked faces to each other from a distance.

For Thomas, Teak has a certain sound like a drum, with deep echoes, while Leadwood’s sound is tight. He never goes against nature…even with cracks in the wood which he sees as beautiful pathways leading the artist where he needs to go. Each piece tells a story...This champion of the arts is determined to make miracles happen in spite of the pandemic which has left him without an income but never without hope.
