Esther Mahlangu

b. 1935, South Africa

Esther Mahlangu (b. 1935) is a South African artist who has painted since the age of ten. Growing up in the Ndebele community, she honed her line by painting dwellings, and her bold geometric works are based on traditional Ndebele painting. Her work is held by museums and by private, public and corporate collections around the world. She lives in rural Mpumalanga and works with museums, art fairs, curators and global brands. In 2024 a retrospective covering more than 50 years of her work opened at the Iziko South African National Gallery. That same year she took part in the Venice Biennale and in the exhibition “Giants” at the Brooklyn Museum (USA).
