Notes

Sandile Radebe’s work is centred around text, language, and other writing systems. His process is influenced by reading, accumulating, and retaining information, reflecting on his everyday encounter with language, in its varying forms. Balance, harmony, and complimentary colour are some of the aesthetic devices the artist to interpret the written word. Based in Johannesburg, Radebe completed a BA in Fine Arts (Honours) in 2006 at Wits School of the Arts and in 2009 studied for a PGDA in Arts and Cultural Management at the same institution. A solo exhibition, A Walk in the City, was held in 2014 at the School of the Arts. Radebe participated in various group exhibitions and art fairs, the most recent being the Spier Light Art Festival (2022), The Cape Town International Art Fair (2022), Poetic Land Art Exhibition, Stellenbosch (2021), and Cubicle Art Series at Everard Read, Cape Town (2018). Radebe has executed several public art commissions from 2003 to date. 2019 saw Radebe's participation in painting the largest mural in South Africa on Louis Botha Road for the Johannesburg Road Agency, facilitated by the Trinity Session.
