His body of work was inspired by the African paradigm, nuance, and idiom.

Wonga Mancoba, 69, a painter whose body of work was inspired by the African paradigm, nuance, and idiom, has passed away in Paris after a long battle with his health.

Wonga was born to South African exiled painter, sculptor and thinker Ernest Mancoba and his wife Danish sculptor, Sonja Verlov, in Paris in the attic of famous Swiss sculptor Giacometti. He would follow in his parents’ footsteps and become a refined painter.

Artcurial is exclusively displaying the original pastel drawings by Marc Wonga Mancoba, which were fundamental for his book A Taxi Way To Heaven, 2010. The limited edition of the artist’s book is a colourful print on wood. Depicting dangerous aspects and uncertainties of a taxi ride in Africa, the artist combines personal memories with his parents, who strongly influenced his passion for art with a stream of consciousness. These reflections are strongly influenced by traumatic historical events of the apartheid, as it is a central topic of many works at Art Paris.

Marc Wonga Mancoba exhibition

In collaboration with the publishing company AREA, Artcurial bookshop is putting on an exhibition of the original drawings used to produce Marc Wonga Mancoba’s artist’s book ‘‘a taxy way to heaven’’ .
