About David Nthubu Koloane

  • Biography

    David Nthubu Koloane was born in 1938 in Africa. Throughout his artistic career, dogs were a recurring theme in Koloane's work. They were a symbol of violence and control, often unleashed to attack black South Africans under the Apartheid regime. A strong critic of the control of spaces for black South Africans and the limitations black artists had to practice, Koloane joined forces with a collective of artists and founded the Thupelo workshops. Later he also created a complex of studio spaces called the Bag Factory in Johannesburg to empower up and coming artists.
