Thokozani Madonsela

b. 1988, South Africa

Thokozani Madonsela (b. 1988) is a South African artist born in Daggakraal, Mpumalanga. He completed printmaking studies at Artist Proof Studio. He works in painting, printmaking, charcoal drawing, mosaic and murals. His work is recognisable for its nude, faceless, often laughing figures whose gender, age or social status cannot be determined. This is his way of depicting a neutral human identity, and the figures' wide-open mouths act as a critique of their surroundings. He has taken part in the SA Taxi Foundation Art Awards and Absa L'Atelier exhibitions. In 2022 his works were shown in the exhibition “Contemporary African Art: Dreams and Realities of Identity” at the Vytautas Kasiulis Art Museum.
