Pebofatso Mokoena (born in 1993 in Alberton, South Africa) holds a BA Honours in Fine Art (distinction) from Witwatersrand University and is completing a Master of Arts in Fine Arts, also at Wits University. In 2014, he completed his NDip (Visual Art) at the University of Johannesburg (UJ). Mokoena taught drawing and presentation at UJ’s Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture between 2018 and 2021. Emerging from early practice in printmaking, Mokoena’s painting practice is compositionally underscored by precise mark making and division of space that enquires into conceptual-visual politics and explores relations between social-politics, family life and aesthetic philosophy.
