About the Artist
From a young age, Meshack ‘Shakes’ Tembani loved art and started exploring different avenues of expression in a variety of mediums such as painting and mosaic. With a distinctive and stylised technique, he invites viewers to contemplate the beautiful in the seemingly ordinary by using bold and flat colours. Inspired by the everyday experiences faced by his community Tembani depicts these, often concentrating on strong female figures in his neighbourhood.
Tembani grew up in New Crossroads, Cape Town, where he still lives and works. He has a Certificate in Visual Arts and has specialized in screen printing, paper-mache, fabric painting and craft
