Painting - Acrylic on Canvas - Donkey Cart

Zach has made his name for his fanciful depictions of African stories and traditions in oils in his signature style based on print-making techniques, but he also loves painting scenes from everyday African life in smaller pieces using acrylics.

Here he tells us about this piece in acrylic on canvas entitled Donkey cart, “A mode of transport that we use in the communal lands and in towns. People can carry their food stuffs to sell in the communities. In the rural areas we use it for carrying food to the shops, to the grinding mill, to go to the mountains to collect fire wood, water from the rivers, for all sorts of things. It is a vital mode of transport in rural and small-town Africa."
