"Esther Mahlangu’s mural at Serpentine celebrates community and unity through vibrant patterns and shapes reflective of Ndebele culture, marking her first public artwork in the UK."
"Her artistic language, learned from matrilineal traditions, draws from the visual language of her village, intertwining personal and cultural history into large-scale, vibrant works."
"Mahlangu has been creating art for over eight decades, reflecting her deep connection to painting, which she describes as 'like breathing'—an innate part of her identity."
"Utilizing natural pigments and traditional techniques, Mahlangu's site-specific installations are not just art; they represent a significant aspect of her community's cosmology and heritage."
