The first woman commissioned to create a BMW art car (back in 1991), has been commisioned by BMW once more. South African artist Esther Mahlangu has created cool interior panels


The automaker recently tapped Mahlangu for interior paneling that would further employ her colorful motifs—drawn from the Ndebele tradition of message-laden house painting—something she learned from her grandmother. The result is astounding—a joyful punctuation to the vehicle. And as for what’s next for the prolific 82-year-old artist, she’ll get a studio upgrade thanks to BMW South Africa
