Kagiso Reuben

(b 1999, South Africa. Lives and works in Vereeniging )

Kagiso Reuben depicts a strong sense of story-telling in his work; exploring his past and surroundings with a sense of child-like communication; as seen in the vibrant use of colour blocking and scenery. His work considers both his personal context against the backdrop of an environment informed by political and social dynamics; with a particular emphasis on portraits with elements of caricature.
