Mutton, Beef Or A Community Chat? More Wall Art In Mdantsane

Mutton or beef - wall Mural in Mdantsane

Want Mutton or Beef? These wall murals in NU 2 apparently give you two options. 

A while ago we have posted an article about the "Art of African Sign Board Painting", that many of our readers have enjoyed. We call it an art. And it is a dying art everywhere else in the world, that is however pretty much alive on the African Continent.

Signboards or advertising boards are nowadays usually printed, laminated, made from resin, metal and created through an industrial process.

In some places in the world, it is a fact, that it is cheaper for a small business owner to paint his own signboard than to have it done through a printing and punlishing company. Art loves traveling through these countries can only sigh at the sight of some pretty amazing art pieces on walls and boards. Probably later they will land in a museum. Hopefully an African one.

Art is perishable in Mdantsane

In Mdantsane we find a phenomena, a natural phenomena, that artists in Europe try to achieve intentionally. Perishable art, art that vanishes and art that dissolves or is destroyed again. In the west installations are set up with great effort in public spaces or in nature, only to be taken over by natural forces or to be destroyed deliberately. The process of destruction is watched by many. It is a process, that shows that art is perishable, a creation of the mind and as such it represents the state of the mind at a given point. 

Art is ever changing in Mdantsane

We have come to this place several times, a deserted trading complex in N.U 5 that is merely a ruin now. Each time the graffiti and art on the walls have changed. I can not deny that sometimes this has left me in an emotional state - because I came back to see a certain painting but instead I found another one.
