Colorful African Pop Art South African Artist Thabiso Lindani Mbambo

Thabiso Lindani Mbambo is a Durban based artist that has always had a love for graphic art. He studied visual art and Graphic Design at the Durban University of Technology.

My style developed through my primary interest in traditional and cultural attire and my simultaneous fascination with popular culture, which I found lacked the cultural influences that I liked. I then decided to create a series of portraits where I combined the rich colourful aesthetic of South African attire with the cool edginess of popular culture.
