Lack of resources, guidance and artistic direction are all factors emerging artists are facing today. Living Artists Emporium (LAE) is addressing these challenges by supplying the necessary infrastructure, guidance and tools to enable emerging artists to create cutting edge contemporary art and build their careers. Our slogan “Breaking the rules of art” is against the grain of the norm. Today there are so many new and diverse ways of artistic expression that we asked the question of what the rules of art are and who is making them? We decided to follow our own path by pushing the boundaries and will break any supposedly rule of art that is prescribed to us. With this platform LAE is creating new ground in the art industry by offering high quality contemporary art as an investment for the future and to make art accessible to all. Our artists are becoming the stars of tomorrow!

I engage a personal expression of solid marks and living imagery to express the beauty and innocence of everyday life in South Africa. Within this territory, my work varies from representational to abstract, and I am continuously moving along the contrast between the two. I tend to work in series, either in regard to the exploration of a particular image or the materials used in creating my works.I am exploring the dialogue between Photography and Painting, with a seasonal aspect related to my travels, connections and experiences with my subject matters.

I have a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, particular what lies beneath our souls and is inspired by design ideas, innovations and lifestyle. My creation process is spontaneous, semi- realistic combined with a conceptual abstract component. The use of charcoal, acrylic and mixed medium is the tools that I use to capture the emotions of my subjects with the motive to uplift the viewer’s mood with wild and vibrant strokes of colour and texture. My choice of subject matter in my body or works is the women (the mothers) and children (the future of tomorrow) of our society.

The young Jo'burg artist sprang from a life with a humble background, his childhood experiences helped to sharpen his eye in his current social setup. Using largely acrylic paint and mixed media, the young artist portrays children in the city or urban life. His inspiration consists of a large body of ideas drawn from the Superstroke Art Movement as his art can be categorized as expressionism. However, the artist also adds a touch of realism to make his work unique. This blends well with the message he portrays through the use of children in his work. In an urban society, where the costs of living choke its people, and all the socioeconomic and political unrests are expected to be the order of the day, Thabiso portrays positivity, happiness, innocence and satisfaction. If people could see things from a child’s perspective, they would appreciate the little things in life and bliss their miseries...the world would be a better place.

The collection was done in an “AfroPop” style and the influence of the Pop Artists of the Sixties, such as Jean-MicheI Basquiat and Roy Lichtenstein is obvious in the works. Throughout the collection Diezel incorporates bright colours, scribbles and writing to comment on the 'high voltage' existence in Africa. The works include ideas about the complexities of a muIti-cuIturaI existence within South African society, its history, the political situation and the varied belief systems of the different groups. Diezel uses symbols, scribbles and writing in most of the works to communicate ideas and the spirit of Africa. Stars are 'lucky', plus (+) signs are signs of hope and optimism and hearts represent a love of country. Colours and drips symboIize Iife 'experience' and how it influences the subjects view of the world. Diezel is a member of The Superstroke Art Movement, founded by fellow South African artist Conrad Bo. Superstroke was born in Africa and is symbolic of its energy, the good and the bad, bloodshed, corruption. oppression and pain, but also of beauty, optimism and hope.

Almost love at first sight, Siyabonga became smitten with art as a child and by the time he finished high school it was full-blown love affair. In college he studied Art & Design and he focused his attention on nature and various colour palettes. Upon graduating, his mediums of choice became acrylic, fabric, stones, grass, ink and graphite. As his artistic skill-set matured, he began experimenting with various methods and techniques, which ultimately lead him to discover his signature style identified as Superblur African Synthetic Cubism / Circlelism. The style’s aim is to entertain the viewer with beauty and desire that the eye cannot see but only the heart can feel.
