About the Item

Sibusiso Duma, born in 1978 in Mbumbulu, Durban, is a prominent South African artist known for his distinctive approach to art. Beginning his creative journey as a child, Duma quickly garnered attention from his teachers, who encouraged him to produce educational materials. His career took a pivotal turn under the mentorship of the late Trevor Makhoba, a renowned South African artist known for his socially critical works. Duma's collaboration with Makhoba from 1994 to 2003 through the Philange Art Project was instrumental in shaping his artistic style and vision. Duma’s artwork often explores the complexities of rural and urban lifestyles, addressing social issues with humor and satire. His unique visual language is marked by the use of bright colors, hard shadows, and a distinctive application of pointillism. Themes in his work frequently include rural landscapes and traditional elements, reflecting his deep engagement with both contemporary and cultural narratives. Having exhibited widely, Duma’s works are held in various collections locally and internationally. Notable pieces like "Wabashwa Ubaba (Father Is Arrested)" and "Going Back Home" showcase his engagement with contemporary social issues. His recent exhibitions, such as 'Ukube uMama usenathi (If Mama Were Still With Us)', highlight his evolving artistry and commitment to addressing significant cultural themes through his evocative and vibrant style.
