Pebofatso Mokoena

Pebofatso Mokoena (b. 1993) is a contemporary South African artist. Mokoena’s interest lies in the entangled organisations of how organic and man-made geographies shape multiple environments. He uses his own personal narratives and a consistent application of experimental enquiry as tools to make sense of the chaotic integratedness of the current world he lives in. Mokoena’s work orbits in between critical discourses across the spheres of visual art architecture, global culture, and aesthetics.

Born 1993, Ekurhuleni, South Africa. Lives and works through Johannesburg. Pebofatso completed his NDip (Visual Art) at the University of Johannesburg and his BA (Visual Art) at Wits with distinction, granting him the Postgraduate Merit Award. The artist is currently pursuing his MAFA at the University of Witwatersrand. Mokoena has held sessional lecturer positions in Interdisciplinary Design and Presentation at the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA) at UJ between 2018-2021, and a sessional lecturer positions of Drawing and Contemporary Practice at Wits University. ​His artistic practice, emerging from backgrounds in drawing, painting and printmaking, is formally underscored by line - that is to say: mark-making, calculus of space, socio-politics, aesthetics, family life and the environment. ​Mokoena has had 5 solo presentations of his work - Space Dot Conundrums, The Pebofatso Experience, Inside Jobs, Internal Probes, Neoclassical Taste Matrix. and Space Dot Conundrum. Selected Group shows include Fieldworks: Situated Practice in Art and Architecture, SENSES, WAV, Falling Awake, Negotiating Chaos; Fresh Produce, Fortunes Remixed, Future Worldings, and South African Voices: A New Generation of Printmakers. Mokoena is part of a writing group Secret Society of Publishers along with Philiswa Lila, Fouad Asfour and Londiwe Mtshali.
