''Golden Hours of Community'' highlights the vibrant, golden backdrop that dominates the painting, suggesting a time of day when the sun casts a warm glow over the village. The bustling activity of the community, with people engaging in daily chores, playing, and interacting, emphasizes the strong sense of togetherness and liveliness. The name reflects both the visual warmth of the scene and the warmth of the human connections depicted.

Creating a new awareness of beauty in common-day rural and township life, this artwork vividly captures groups of people going about their everyday lives. Correct in posture and attitude, artist Katharine Ambrose's naive and primitive artistic style is unique among South African artists. Her artistic technique leads the eye to formulate facial expressions, which are at best hinted at in her brushstrokes, earning her the 'Lowry-esque' artist mantle.

Katharine Ambrose travels widely to find her subject matter in rural and school settings, always sketching rather than using the crutch of photography. Her commitment to authenticity and the spontaneity of her sketches brings a unique vibrancy to her work.

This original painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and value, ensuring its place as a genuine and valuable piece of art. Whether you're an art collector or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of everyday life, "Golden Hours of Community" offers a heartfelt glimpse into the warmth and richness of rural South African life.

About Artist

Although Kate Ambrose was born in 1950 to an English father and a Swedish mother, her art and heart are firmly rooted in Africa - its civilization, landscapes, and attendant social commentary.

All are captured in Ambrose's famous acrylic-on-canvas township paintings. After reading Religious Studies at Lancaster University in England, Ambrose and her late husband, an Anglican priest, settled in the mining town of Rustenburg in South Africa. The famous watercolorist Bill McGill came across her paintings and invited her to join his art classes there.

Ambrose became a full-time artist in 1984. "People often want to know about my township connection. They want to know why I opted to paint these townships. I went to townships a lot with both my husbands, who each went to help people: Giles as a pastor and my second husband, David Dalling, as a politician".

"They established schools, churches, clinics, and built communities up. They listened to people's needs and took their side through the apartheid years. I tagged along and was inspired by the huge scope. The residents let me express my positive philosophy of our shared humanity."

Ambrose has exhibited all over South Africa, Germany, Malaysia, France, Switzerland, Ireland, the USA, and the UK. Ambrose lives in Somerset West outside Cape Town.
