Zandile Tshabalala

South African 1999- 

Zandile Tshabalala is one of South Africa’s fastest rising young artists. Receiving her Bachelors in Fine Art at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2022, Tshabalala has enjoyed massive success locally and abroad. The artist has shown a dedication to black figuration, translating her lived experiences onto the canvas while referring to a contemporary Black canon of painters like Kerry James Marshall, Njideka Akunyili Crosby and Meleko Mokgosi. This aspect of her practice was celebrated in Zeitz MOCAA’s blockbuster exhibition When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting which featured two of Tshabalala’s works including Two Reclining Women (2020) which graces the cover of the exhibition catalogue published by Thames & Hudson.

Tshabalala has exhibited locally and internationally since 2020, showing in galleries and museums such as the mmArthouse and BKhz, Johannesburg; Galerie Nagel Draxler, Mönchehaus-Museum Goslar, and Kunstmuseum Magdeburg, all in Germany. and has also participated in art fairs such as the Cape Town Investec Art Fair and Art Basel Miami.
