Born in Molteno in the Eastern Cape, South Africa´s poorest province, his art seeks to highlight lives and livelihoods that are defined by constant struggle and by lack of access to basic resources. The work ´Sibuy eMarikana´ depicts the main message that Asanda seeks to deliver through his work, capturing the self-determining spirit of his people, as well as grassroots frustrations and hopes around achieving a political regime that supports and values its people. Asanda Kupa lives in Johannesburg and works from his studio at the Bag Factory. He has exhibited in multiple exhibitions and art fairs in South Africa and internationally, and is represented by Guns & Rain.
