Moleleki Frank Ledimo Archive
The lithographs on this page were published by The Artists' Press and have been archived. For purchase enquiries please contact us.
Moleleki Frank Ledimo is as much a cultural activist as he is an artist. A large portion of his art making is devoted to printmaking. Ledimo was involved with The Artist Proof Studio in Johannesburg for many years and one has the sense that he feels at home within the world of "democratic multiples".
Ledimo's prints are carefully hand coloured and serve as a visual documentation of inner city and evolving suburban life in Gauteng. The prints in this series are available as single colour lithographs or as hand coloured lithographs. The hand coloured prints form part of the same edition. So 1/40 may be a single colour print and 2/40 may be a hand coloured one.
"I create work that is based on the urban landscape in which I live. I
have been fascinated by the representation of the figure to relay
messages of urban squalor, city life, survivors and victims of
urbanisation. I am interested in how the city offers an array of
aspects of life - exploitation, forced migration, various encounters and
passing scenes as if from a film storyboard.
The medium of
scratch lithography has allowed me to use fresh, expressive lines &
work spontaneously with each line building the image and each line being
an important expressive mark. On the other hand experimenting and
pushing the boundaries of traditional lithography & am fascinated by
accidents that one discovers through this new medium." Moleleki Frank Ledimo, 2003
