Scarf – Grey Percy Manyonga Ballot Box II

Percy Manyonga was born in Goromonzi, Zimbabwe. In his art, recurring motifs such as the hand and the cross (`x’) are often camouflaged alongside the depiction of tortured figurative forms through the use of a monochrome palette, splashes of ink and the abstraction of line. In and (2018) Manyonga depicts figures engaging in the act of voting. Their forms appear abstracted as if being pulled in different directions by an invisible force. Nevertheless, they appear determined. These works are a reflection on the electoral processes in Zimbabwe and the debates that have emerged from this.
