  Buthelezi said he decided to work with plastic because he wanted to stand out, and this was an innovative, original idea to do that. “With watercolor and other mediums that I have experimented with in the past, I felt that I'm hitting the ceiling,” he told Euronews. “I'm not growing anymore. I wanted to be noticed and I wanted to catch attention, because I knew also that I'm moving into a career where you have to be really special to be able to even make a living out of it。”

  Buthelezi说他决定使用塑料是由于想要与众不同,而用塑料画画是个独到的想法。“由于从前始终用水彩或一些其他的颜料画画,我感到很生气,”他对欧洲消息台说道。“我感到我没有进步,我想要引人注目、抓人眼球,由于我知道我要从事的职业,必须与众不同才能糊口。”

  According to Buthelezi, his chosen medium also serves as a metaphor for life. “I collect rubbish and create something beautiful from it,” he wrote on his website。

  据Buthelezi说,他选择的颜料也可以说是在暗喻人生。“我收集垃圾,而后从中创造一些美的东西。”他在本人的写道。

  Buthelezi's introduction to plastic happened during a workshop he attended with a Swiss artist who used plastic as a canvas. Inspired by the idea, he started to think of how cheap and readily available plastic is, and how it could be used not only as a canvas, but also as paint. So he collected plastic and started experimenting with a heat gun, applying the melted material onto a black plastic background. He slowly worked on improving his technique, and eventually became an expert at painting with plastics。

  他接触塑料正巧是在他参加工作室期间,其中有位瑞士画家用塑料作画布。受此启发,他想到塑料既便宜又现成,它不仅可用作画布也能当颜料。因此他收集了塑料,用热风枪开始实验,将熔化的资料涂在黑色塑料画布上。通过不断努力提高本人的技术,他终于成为了塑料画作的专家。

  He calls his creation process simple and haphazard, but believes that the final pieces speak for themselves. “I'm interested in finding the details in the painting,” he told BBC news. He also called himself “a mirror for the society I live in, and I want to make a meaningful impact on that society。”

  他说虽然本人的创作过程简单而随意,但他相信最后的作品自会说话。“我很喜欢发现画作中的细节,”他这样跟BBC消息说。同时他也称本人为“其所生涯社会的一面镜子,我希望能对这个社会产生一些有意义的影响。”

  In his paintings, Buthelezi depicts a variety of subjects �C everyday scenes, African history, human portraits, and abstract images. He also makes bold statements about social and environmental issues. He wants the rough texture of the plastic to represent the difficulties of life in South Africa's townships。

  在画作中,他描绘了很多事物――日常场景、非洲历史、人物肖像和抽象图像。同时他也就社会和情况发表了一些大胆的言论。他想用塑料粗糙的材质代表南非小镇生涯的艰辛。

  According to Buthelezi, he is the only artist who works with plastic.Buthelezi's works have been well received by critics and art lovers alike. In 2010, online magazine Live Out Loud said his art “reflects humanity's often detrimental impact on the environment, but his original use of discarded objects to depict an often forgotten group of people truly sets him apart。” His paintings have been exhibited in South Africa, as well as Germany, the US, and Holland, for years。

  据Buthelezi说,他是唯一用塑料作画的艺术家。他的作品受到了评论家及艺术爱好者的好评。2010年,一家名为“Live Out Loud”的线上杂志称他的作品“反映了人类对于情况的破坏,同时使用废弃物品来描绘那些被人遗忘的群体,这一创举却让他成为画家中的佼佼者。他的画作在南非、德国、美国以及荷兰都展览了多年。(杨茜)
