Nelson Makamo _ screenprints available works 2019
These screenprints were created by Nelson Makamo at Cloudia Hartwig’s Chocolate Ink Studio. Cloudia is a Master Screenprinter. She taught screenprint at Artist Proof Studio for seven years and acted as a screenprint mentor at the University of Johannesburg before setting up her own studio in eastern Johannesburg in 2013.
the Emotions series
EMOTIONS SERIES This series relates to Nelson’s ongoing fascination with portraying those around him and the range of emotions that speak of the human condition. Some are intensely personal – for example, living in Johannesburg, he is far from his family, and the image of the man and woman hugging shows Nelson saying farewell to his mother after a visit home. The images of the figure with spectacles are usually self-portraits.

the Along the way series
ALONG THE WAY SERIES This series evolved during a road trip that Nelson took within South Africa. As he travelled, he made drawings in a sketchbook of some of the people he encountered along the way. The images in this screenprint series have been taken from this sketchbook. Three prints are slightly larger than the rest, and although untitled, these are ‘self-portraits’, in that one is a letter about the experience (transcribed on the next page), one is his younger self, and the other (with spectacles) as he returned from this journey. The single landscape, a solitary country road, speaks of the length of this journey.
TRANSCRIBED LETTER: On my time marked everything that moved my eyes, from smile to tears, stormy to summer rain, winter. But most importantly thing that inspired me most, in short look through the wind of my eyes and I’m sure you’ll find every experience worthwhile. from Nelson Makamo
