WHATEVER I CAN THINK OF//

//MY FIRST GALLERY PURCHASE

I recently went to visit the Limpopo province, or rather Venda-land to be exact. Within the Elim area (a rural town in the province), I went to visit a gallery that had been established by local traditional South African Artist John Baloyi, who had passed away in a car accident a few years ago.

This gallery which also carries the artist's name, features the works of many traditional artists of the vicinity, and mainly the remaining works of John Baloyi himself. The following picture captures me holding my "first official gallery purchase", which only set me back a whopping R.10-....The work was created by Collins Baloyi, who is Baloyi's nephew (if I'm not mistaking)...

So I figured I'd show off my first gallery purchase...
