For many, the idea of being a full-time artist remains but a dream. For Kagiso Pat Mautloa, it has been a reality for the past four decades. A famous South African painter and sculptor, he aims to create works that raise awareness and get people thinking. Some of Mautloa's significant works are dotted around Johannesburg. A heavy rock bound in wire stands solemnly outside Johannesburg Central police station – the site of many deaths in custody during apartheid – and his cascade of pick-axes and wheelbarrows tumbles into the atrium at Johannesburg's main Standard Bank branch, representing the "pain to labour" on which the bank is built. Based in the smoky labyrinth of Fordsburg, at the Bag Factory Artist Studios, Mautloa does not consider what he does a job – rather, it is a lifestyle. For one, there is no retirement.
