Notes
Luzuko Dayile and Jan Maanda Tshikhuthula are South African printmakers who both trained at Artist Proof Studio in Johannesburg. Dayile was born in King William’s Town in 1989 and completed a Diploma in Fine Art at Walter Sisulu University in 2013, before interning as a professional printer and printmaking facilitator at Artist Proof Studio. Working mainly in prints and drawings, he draws on his relationship with his daughter, with the recurring figure of the horse representing that bond. He is now based in Buffalo City in the Eastern Cape. Tshikhuthula was born in Tzaneen, Limpopo, in 1983. In 2005 he studied at the Matongoni Art Academy in Venda under the artist Avhashoni Mainganye, who encouraged him to specialise in printmaking at Artist Proof Studio. Alongside printmaking, he works in charcoal and soft pastel, producing landscapes that reflect the journey from rural home to city, and has shown with Everard Read.
