About "The Drum of Hooves "
Cape Buffalo bulls, arguably one of the most dangerous African wild animals, charge past this waterhole somewhere in the great pristine Zambezi Valley.
Often known as Dagga boys the Buffalo Bull is a no nonsense animal who seems to constantly have attitude and swagger!
Much of history will show their ability to defend themselves and often each other against predators and human beings who are arguably the apex predator, make an error and your time is up!
As the pink sprays across another magnificent African sky, these old companions charge off , perhaps it was the scent on the wind or just a six sense they had, but you do not want to be in their way!
Their faces and bodies scarred and partially hairless from encounters with thick Jesse and perhaps other battles, they are a formidable sight, they ooze power and menace
Brought to life in many books on Africa the Cape Buffalo is revered, they are the subject of campfire stories and deeply respected in this world that is Africa

About Astley
Africa is not a subject I discovered -- it is the landscape I grew up
listening to.
My work centres on baobabs and other enduring trees of the
Zimbabwean wilderness. These forms stand at a scale beyond the
human. Marked by seasons, drought, fire and the passage of
elephants, they carry visible records of time.
I am drawn to their presence -- not as symbols, but as living
structures that have witnessed generations before us and will
likely remain long after. In their stillness there is a sense of
continuity that shifts one's perspective.
Painting allows me to slow that encounter. It invites silence. My
intention is to create work that encourages a deeper breath -- a
moment in which the viewer feels both small and quietly
connected to something older and enduring.
Each piece is grounded in lived experience of the Zimbabwean
bush, where endurance is not metaphor but reality.
