Managing Change in the new South africa

Quite a thought provoking composition, the black bull looks healthier than the white bull, who looks a little emaciated, also the broken fence I find disturbing. The blue/green colours of the background give an air of stark emptiness. There is always 'hope', the fence can be repaired and the animals fattened and the wealth of mineral resources can turn the horizon to gold. I have enjoyed your explanation and the thoughts you have stimulated, a masterful composition.

Interesting and great paintings you have... and thanks for the explanation and your thoughts.. well done.

Lenerd Louw.800 x 600mm.Simbolizes the ongoing struggle between Black & White people for the wealth of the country and the running down of the infrastructure by incompetent civil servants. The 2 bulls are representing of originally Black & White people but since the release of Mr Mandela and the elections of 1994( red tag on bulls ear) they represent the wealthy and the poor. The Goldmine rock dump in the background represents the wealth mineral resources everyone wants to claim while the broken fence represents the running down of civil infrastructure. Light reflections of the South African flag are painted behind the bulls
