About the Artist
Sandile Ashar Mhlongo’s paintings articulate his life story - one of personal struggle, strong family ties and friendships. He is inspired by daily experiences and the people that surround him. Mhlongo's work addresses problems prevalent in South African society; problems exacerbated by politicians, corruption and abuse of power.
Mhlongo was born in the township of Langa, and still lives and works in Cape Town. His love of art was kindled and encouraged from a young age, particularly by his father, who is an artist as well. Mhlongo started attending art classes while still in school and furthered his studies at the Community Arts Project in Woodstock, Cape Town.
