Ndebele House Painting











































Ndebele house painting is the 400 year-old South African Ndebele's traditional wall-painting, handed down from mother to daughter. The car is done by famous Ndebele artist Esther Mahlangu for a BMW artist series in the early 90s. So awesome and flat, this graphic representation is pulled from everyday life, as well as personal milestones, and translated into a symbolic language. The tradition is super old and influence is evident throughout modern art and design, but it still looks so fresh.
