Nelson Makamo Homework

Nelson was born in Nylstroom (now modimolle) in Limpopo he participated in a number 
of local exhibitions in Limpopo before finding his way to artist proof in studio 2003 he 
received his APS certificate in advanced professional printmaking in 2005 since then, 
Nelson has worked as a professional artist and as a marketing sales administrator for 
the APS gallery. Nelson was selected as art South Africa's seventh bright young thing in 
2007 in the same year he had the first International exhibition in simmer Lombardo, 
(Italy) followed in 2008 with the International solo exhibition in Amsterdam in January 
2009 Nelson resigned from the gallery position to devote himself full time to his art.




Mono prints can differ in appearance, some are hazy and dark colours and others are vibrant and 
have a large variety of colours.



I like his work because it shows all different meanings behind it and can have a different impact of 
each viewer, and his work is different to most mono prints I have seen when searching.
