Gamnqoa (the heel or hock of a lion) found in his art a meaningful link to his past. It enlivens memories that would otherwise have been lost to dwell in his mind only. He grew up in a hunter- gatherer lifestyle and worked as a farm labourer before his involvement in art. He started his career as an artist with the Kuru Art Project in 1997. His dynamic way of depicting animals in movement signifies his unique and specific style. Gamnqoa works in various mediums including oil on canvas and printmaking.
