Slovo Mamphaga

Slovo Mamphaga is a South African artist specializing in drawing, painting, and print-making. Mamphaga recreates everyday scenes in South Africa to explore his identity and his place in the world, while addressing societal issues ranging from the spiritual to the political. Mamphaga delves into how our internal and external worlds collide and examines how unchallenged external factors can shape our sense of self.

Mamphaga reflects on how individuals can influence their surroundings to effect change. His surrealistic work, influenced by elements of design due to his background, is experimental and guided by the creation process. "In an effort to create art that is utilitarian and memorable, my work seeks to find new ways to redefine the Afrocentric narrative." - Slovo Mamphaga
