About the Artist
Through his work Asanda Kupa expresses his concern for the negative and broken conditions of his community, using a vibrant palette to voice the everyday struggle of Black South Africans. Exploring issues ranging from migration to protest, Kupa's paintings depict crowds in an abstract expressionist style. These crowds are shown as moving or working within what he calls "imaginary landscapes", conveying a sense of rage and longing for the land. He uses oil paint and found objects as his primary media.
Born in Molteno in the Eastern Cape, Kupa completed a National Diploma in Fine Art at the Walter Sisulu University (2005) and is currently living and working in Molteno in the Eastern Cape.
