Thebe Phetogo

Thebe Phetogo
Interested in the idea of origins, artist Thebe Phetogo (b. 1993 Botswana) weaves between figurative and abstract landscape painting, in conversation with race and Setswana geography, mythology and knowledge systems. Containing multiple references beyond just the sacred mountainous caves that are at the heart of his work, Phetogo points towards an indigenous art history. “Each of us ‘makes’ the world.
