Roselyn Marikasi (1977- ) is a dynamic young Zimbabwean artist who confronts social mores fearlessly. In this painting of a family Roselyn speaks to the difficulty a woman has trying to achieve success in a male dominated society. She told me that she painted the woman in front being ridiculed by the man to encourage women to keep up the fight for stature rather than accept their prescribed societal roles. The painting also delves into the role domestic violence plays in many families. Here we see the bewildered look of the daughter hoping for an explanation from the mother. Roselyn’s use of sand and string adds to the feeling of struggle and division.
