Stephané Conradie is a senior lecturer in printmedia at Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, South Africa.
Although primarily a trained printmaker, her artistic practice is invested in bricolage assemblages with a focus on object ontologies. Her research and practice stem from a fascination with how people arrange sentimental objects in their homes, particularly in her family member’s homes in Namibia and South Africa. Her ornate sculptures and prints examine the histories of colonialism and creolisation embedded in domestic material culture.
Conradie holds a PhD in Visual Arts at the University of Stellenbosch, where she completed her MA in Visual Arts (Art Education). Most recently Conradie was included in Materiality (2020) an exhibition at the Iziko National Gallery, the Megalo International Print Prize 2020, Kingston, Australia and Black Luminosity (2021) curated by Gcotyelwa Mashiqa at SMAC Gallery in Stellenbosch, The vibration of things, The 15th edition of the Triennial of Small Sculpture, Fellbach, Germany (2022), (IM)MATERIALITY, Águeda Arts Center, Portugal (2022), Souvenir, a solo exhibition at Whatiftheworld, Cape Town (2022) and Find/Fuse, a two-person exhibition with Elise Thompson at Ceysson Bénétière, New York (2023) curated by Maëlle Ebelle & Francesca Pessarelli.
Conradie’s work is held in several private and public collections namely the Leridon Collection, France, GAUTREAUX Collection, Cansas City and UNISA Art Gallery, South Africa.
