Willie Bester – ‘Discussion’
‘Discussion’ is a large tapestry depicting two women talking. They are set against a background representing a township scene.
Born in Montagu in the Western Cape on 29 February 1956, Bester is regarded as one of South Africa’s foremost contemporary sculptors. He is also recognized as having played an important role in bringing about change in the struggle during the apartheid years. Bester spent one year studying with the Community Arts Project in Cape Town, but is mainly a self-taught artist. The remainder of his “art” education has come through his life experience.
