Simphiwe Ndzube (b. 1990, Johannesburg, South Africa) has created an ambitious body of figurative works, ranging from paintings to sculptures to installations, incorporating various stitched-on garments, patterned duct tapes, and found objects. Ndzube’s work, drawing inspiration from African folklore magic realism, is centered on a reoccurring imaginary protagonist, Bhabharosi, on a journey to self-discovery, healing, and searching for meaning in a seemingly godless world.
