Welcome to
the Vanhu Gallery:
ENTER THE VANHU GALLERY“Vanhu” is a Xitsonga word, meaning “People”.
The Vanhu gallery hosts exhibitions by some of Africa’s most exciting artists. Marcel Herholdt is one such artist.
Marcel Herholdt grew up in a small town near Cape Town, South Africa. He has no formal art education, yet developed his craft into its current incarnation of Afro-pop style protest paintings that deal with his concern about the subtle intrusion of our personal space that the corporate world and governments pursue under the pretence of convenience and safety.
His clear narrative, good compositions, clever colour combinations and use of the best materials available, combined with a perfectionist’s attitude to detail and finishing, sets him apart from the rest.
