Created in 1986, this expressive work is a quintessential example of Solly Malope’s dynamic approach to the human form. The composition depicts two abstracted female figures, rendered with the bold brushwork and strong linear rhythm that define Malope’s distinctive figurative style.
The palette is dominated by earthy ochres and deep brown tones, creating a grounded, primordial atmosphere. Malope’s use of heavy outlines and rhythmic distortion imbues the figures with a sense of movement and monumental presence. This work reflects the socio-aesthetic energy of South African art in the mid-1980s, where figuration often served as a powerful vehicle for exploring identity and the human condition.

Solly Malope is a South African artist known for his vibrant, expressive figurative works that often bridge the gap between traditional observation and modernist abstraction. Emerging in the 1970s and 80s, Malope’s style is characterized by a “sculptural” approach to painting, using thick dabs of color and rhythmic patterns to define his subjects.
His work is increasingly recognized for its contribution to the narrative of Black South African Modernism and is sought after by collectors specializing in the art of the township and urban centers of South Africa.
