Tumisang Khalipha
[ARTIST STATEMENT Khalipha’s work bears in to social & industrial activities, in how they affect the mankind & the source of life. I explore the figurative forms through mediums of charcoal, watercolors, polluted water and acrylics on paper. My work is brought by my rural upbringing where the scarcity of adequate sanitation has plagued the community for decades. This, explores the complexity of water with respect to the human condition; the power it possesses as a natural elixir, the majesty of its movement, its ability to create, and equally marvellous ability to destroy - and water being an integral part of his painting technique as well, Khalipha has described the irresponsible treatment of water by humans as “The Loss Of Inner Peace” that he hopes to help and restore through his work. - “I am in search of finding the inner peace that is tend to be destroyed by our social and industrial activities in the hopes of restoring the human health & source of life.” [ARTIST BIOGRAPHY] Tumisang Khalipha is a South African contemporary visual artist and professional photographer.
