Sumptuous contemporary portraiture of young Black women in their daily lives
South African artist Zandile Tshabalala (born 1999) makes sumptuous oil paintings of young Black women in everyday settings appearing sensual, confident and relaxed. By inserting her subjects into traditional motifs meant to exclude the Black body, Tshabalala both confronts and subverts canonical and art-historical conventions.
