Former waitress ‘exploited’ by top artist, by sa_poptart
was a waitress at Melissa’s in Somerset Mall, Cape Town, and couldn’t believe her ears when colleagues told her they’d spotted her in a glossy magazine.
“I never said he could sell prints of my image. You go to his website – it’s all over there. And he made other paintings of me. One of them is on the cover of a book called Faces that he sells [for R750 on his website].” “I am saddened and disappointed to hear Kholiswa feels exploited. She never expressed this to me. This was never my intention,” he said.
But Smit responded: “I don’t agree with Kholiswa’s version of events. We are still awaiting her response to our last proposals. She was never refused assistance by me.”officially describes Kholiswa as follows: “The portrait is of a waitress in a township café that Smit visits frequently. He wanted this portrait to capture the essence of her life – including the long distances she travels to work and her struggles as a single mother.
“But they couldn’t tell me how much was going to be paid into the trust every month. And the trust would only be available when the child turned 18. What if we both die before then?” she asked.
