Morgan MahapeGalerie Carole Kvasnevski

Born 1983 in Durban, South Africa
Lives and works in Durban, South Africa

Morgan Mahape, Sobabile, 2021, Glass beads on mono fish line strings and walnut solid wood frame, 70 x 65 cm. Courtesy of Galerie Carole Kvasnevski. 

Morgan Mahape is a self-taught artist whose works are inspired by nature. He uses vegetation as a symbol of life and development. ‘I work with glass beads on strings. Those are fishline strings,’ says Mahape. ‘First, I cut out a piece of wood and use nails to hang the strings and then I put the beads one by one. Every string is independent. If you put all the strings together, you get a full picture because the technique itself is a concept of unity. Each bead represents an individual and then the beads on the strings represent a group of people.’
