Curatorial Note

In Bana ba Motho, artist Donald Masoga captures a moment of pure, uninhibited joy between siblings. The title, translating to "Children of the same man," grounds the painting in the powerful and universal theme of family bonds. This large-scale 2024 oil on canvas is alive with the artist's signature expressive brushwork and a vibrant color palette that radiates warmth and energy.

The children's ecstatic expressions are the focal point, inviting the viewer to share in their happiness. Masoga’s work is a masterful celebration of kinship, the beauty of shared moments, and the infectious spirit of childhood.
