The illusion of movement in @fanimadoda’s new ’iQweqwe’ collection of ceramics becomes a larger-than-life reality in a custom-designed car wrap the artist created for @bmwsouthafrica. He adapted his signature incised patterns into line drawings that have been applied to the body of a BMW X7 in a two-layered wrap. The car has an iridescent sheen reminiscent of an insect carapace, displaying subtle changes of colour as it moves through space. The added element of mobility brings a broader audience for the artist.‘iQweqwe’ is on view in the gallery until 17 September.Photography by @beadles__about Car wrap by @_blckwidow#southernguild #madodafani #bmwsouthafrica #bmw #ceramics #ceramicist #artist #carwrap #bmwx7 #collaboration #patterns #pattern #africanpattern #xhosa #africanceramics #africanart #art #contemporaryart #craft #handmade #handcrafted #handicraft #terracotta #clay #southafricanartist #design #ancient #afrofuturist #afrofuturism #vessel

“It’s exciting to see my work take on a different form and to collaborate with such a recognised brand like @bmwsouthafrica,” says @fanimadoda. “The fact that the car is going to be driven around Cape Town means that people who are not familiar with my ceramics will now be able to see my work.”Watch our video of this unique collaboration between Madoda Fani and @bmw on IGTV.‘iQweqwe’ is on display at Southern Guild until 17 September 2021.Photo by @beadles__about.

Southern Guild presents a new collection of carved ceramics by @fanimadoda, titled ‘iQweqwe’, on view in the gallery until 17 September. The patterned incisions that have defined Fani’s work to date become an all-encompassing ‘skin’ in this series of 12 hand-coiled works. The show’s isiXhosa title can be translated as “crust” but here refers to insect exoskeletons, a central fascination for the artist. Fani’s work is gaining significant international attention with a recent acquisition earlier this year by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the US.Shown here: ‘Uyadidiyela uNonkala’ (The Brewing Crab) Burnished terracotta clay 56 x 56 x 54 cm One-off#southernguild #madodafani #ceramics #ceramicist #ceramicartist #artist #ceramicart #pattern #africanpattern #patterns #xhosa #africanceramics #africanart #art #contemporaryart #craft #handmade #handcrafted #handicraft #terracotta #clay #vessel #southafricanartist #design #ancient #afrofuturist #afrofuturism #vessel
