Zama Spellman

Zama Spellman

Zama Spellman (b. 1999) is a visual artist based in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, whose work is a compelling exploration of black femininity. A graduate of Nelson Mandela University with a Bachelor of Visual Arts, she is currently pursuing her Honours degree in Fine Art at the same institution.

Spellman's practice delves into critical themes of race, representation, and displacement. She primarily works in oil painting to create rich and bold portraiture, alongside detailed charcoal drawings that place black women in their intimate spaces. Through her chosen media, she captures the nuanced experiences and powerful presence of her subjects.

Her emerging career has already been marked by significant achievements. In 2021, she was selected as a finalist for the prestigious Sasol New Signatures art competition. Her work has been featured in notable group exhibitions, including "Same size, Same price, No signature" at Art on Target and "Learning from our context: Revitalising and Decolonising the Visual and Performing Arts" at Nelson Mandela University.
