Wire car

A young child in orange clothing sits absorbed in play with a wire toy car, rendered in bold acrylic strokes across the composition. Motau layers translucent washes of colour—orange, blue, yellow and green—creating an energetic, layered surface that suggests movement and spontaneity. The figure is depicted with gestural immediacy, capturing a fleeting moment of childhood concentration. The artist, based in Johannesburg, frequently draws inspiration from observing children at play in his vibrant neighbourhood.
