Works by Thabiso Phepeng
Works
Recent Work
Resin, collage and spray — archival photographs sealed beneath layers of paint, with line and colour cutting across the surface.
2023
Works on paper and canvas made in Zürich — layered line, pastel and charcoal built up until the surface holds its own weather.
Mark Making
A run of works where the mark itself is the subject — repetition, accumulation and interruption held on the surface until the image arrives.
Uncertain Times
Made through a period of not knowing — works that hold tension without resolving it, line used as both gesture and structure.
2016 – 2018 Work
Work made in the years after arriving in Zürich — acrylic, molotov marker and Chinese ink on canvas, where graffiti and painting meet head on.
Pre-2014 Work
Early work made in South Africa — acrylic, marker and pen on board and canvas, where the graffiti hand first met the painted surface.
Installation Views
Works in the room — shown on the wall, and drawn directly onto it.
