Art is deeply ingrained into each property’s character, reflecting Liz and Phil Biden’s keen and adventurous eye for the beautiful. Drawing inspiration from her travels around the world, Liz has acquired a unique and varied collection of art and interior artifacts. Local artists are often commissioned, giving up-and-coming African artists exposure to the international guests staying at each property. The Silo Hotel, the latest addition to The Royal Portfolio, is one of the first hotels in the world to be situated directly above a prestigious art museum, Zeitz MOCAA.

  • Gerard Sekoto – Resistance Artist Posted on October 19, 2012
    From the art archive: Gerard Sekoto – resistance artist Posted on October 19, 2012 Gerard Sekoto. Photographer unknown. Source: Proud (ed), 2006: 102 When I think about figures from the art world who might qualify as heritage icons and cultural treasures, the artist who immediately comes to mind is Gerard Sekoto (1913- 1993), followed by Dumile Feni (1942-1991) and then perhaps Cecil Skotnes (1926- 2009). In all likelihood, many would agree with me here, particularly in respect of Sekoto, as he is fêted by just about everyone involved with the South African art world. Gerard Sekoto, ‘The artist’s mother and stepfather’, undated. Oil on canvasboard. 30 x 40 cm. The Campbell Smith Collection. Source: Proud (ed), 2006: 103 Thanks to some excellent research by Barbara Lindop and Chabani Manganyi, the details of Sekoto’s biography are relatively well known, especially to the cultural intelligentsia. In brief, Sekoto, a pioneer of African modernism and a highly skilled social realist painter, was born at the Lutheran Mission Station at Botshabelo (‘place of refuge’) in what is now Mpumalanga. Educated at the mission school there, he was reared according to the missionaries’ axiom that “to be Christian was to be civilised and to be civilised was to be Christian.” He studied at the Diocesan Teachers Training College in Pietersburg (now Polokwane), graduating to become a member of the growing black professional class of his time. In 1939, just a year after becoming a full-time artist, he forsook his rural roots for the bright lights of Johannesburg, where he benefited from the assistance, training and patronage of white liberal benefactors and collectors, without whom he probably would not have become such a significant figure in history.

  • Senong on Seriti
    Third Text Africa, No. 12, August 2020, 86-103 Comparative readings of seritiin the art of George Pemba, Gerard Sekoto, Nhlanhla Xaba and Zwelethu Mthethwa Kolodi Senong This essay presents the argument that conceptions of seriti can be read into works produced by black South African artists such as George Pemba (1912-2001), Gerard Sekoto (1913- 1993), Nhlanhla Xaba (1960-2003) and Zwelethu Mthethwa (b.1960).1 Dignity is called seriti in Sepedi, isidima in isiXhosa and isithunzi in isiZulu. Individually, people are imbued with seriti as an aura of respectability and equality, irrespective of personal standing within the hierarchy of life and society. Sekoto and Pemba were among the first black South African modernists, whereas Xaba and Mthethwa’s careers emerged in the years when the country transitioned to democracy. I discuss aesthetic techniques in selected works by these artists as a point of interrogation into modes of representation, interpretation and the subject of seriti. Among the four artists discussed in the essay, Mthethwa is the only one who talks explicitly about exploring a sense of dignity in his images. This reading of his work has been deeply compromised following his conviction for the brutal killing of Nokuphila Kumalo, a twenty- three-year-old sex worker. My intention, then, is to not only considerseriti as an aesthetic quality, but also as an idea impacting on the reading of particular works of art. Early expressions of seriti:Sekoto in Eastwood and Pembaʼs dramatic observations Several authors claim that both Sekoto and Pemba interpret people within their surroundings in a dignified manner.2 The two artists’ subject matter includes depictions of daily life, such as people reading books, riding on a bus or interacting socially.
