Sam Nhlengethwa Goat Lithographs

Sam Nhlengethwa has worked on a number of prints of goats, these are the second series of goat images that he has done at The Artists' Press. The goats are beautifully drawn, at times reducing them to almost abstract forms. Goats are a useful metaphor to describe a number of human traits and Nhlengethwa plays with these in the titles that he has chosen and in the different ways in which he depicts the goats.
