Banele Khoza
About:
Banele Khoza creates ghostly works in watercolour and sharper, yet still surreal, digital illustrations. The up-and-coming artist originally pursued a path in fashion, studying for one year at LISOF in Pretoria. However, during the illustration classes he realised he’d much prefer to spend his days drawing and went on to study fine art at the Tshwane University of Technology instead.
Having just completed his BTech at TUT, Banele plans to spend 2016 practising as a full time artist while experimenting with style and subject matter. Though his images contain elements of escapism and fantasy, they speak to his own experiences – primarily in relation to identity issues and the way gender is presented and performed.(text Between 10 and 5)
