Life in Cape Town continues with fresh energy, and Siphamandla Ex has brought new life to the Artists Gallery’s monthly Feature Wall and fresh, bold and striking are 3 new works by Sarah Danes Jarrett.
This month, the spotlight falls on Siphamandla Ex, a Johannesburg-based visual artist whose work celebrates the richness of the black community and lived experiences. Using art as both social commentary and a tool for community upliftment, his practice honours cultural heritage while shifting the narrative beyond struggle and poverty. Instead, Siphamandla Ex chooses to highlight joy, resilience, and personal growth – offering a vibrant and uplifting perspective through his art.

If you do good, talk about it — something Sarah Danes Jarrett rarely does herself, though her art speaks volumes.

“We are thrilled to share that Penguin Random House, the world’s largest trade book publisher, has invited the artist to illustrate the cover for a forthcoming book by a New York Times best-selling author. While details remain under wraps, this is an extraordinary opportunity for one of Cape Town’s most celebrated artists.“
Her portraits are bold, monumental, and intimate all at once. With fearless brushstrokes and unexpected hues, she sculpts faces that confront and captivate, balancing turbulence with precision, chaos with control. Few artists manage to channel such raw energy into works of such striking harmony.
