THOKOZANI MTHIYANE

THOKOZANI MTHIYANE (b. 1969, Johannesburg, South Africa) is a Johannesburg-based multidisciplinary artist and co-founder of The Enso Circle. After studying under painters Sfiso KaMkame and Thami Jali in Cleremont Township, Durban, Mthiyane developed a practice that spans painting, poetry, music, and dance. He gained early experience in children’s theater with Madcap’s Educational Theatre Company and has performed internationally, including translating French poetry into Zulu at Cave Poésie in Toulouse and touring with the Inzalo dance company in Holland. Mthiyane has exhibited widely, including The Interpretation of Poetry (Turbine Art Fair, 2023) and Soul Songs: The Shape of My Head (Art Eye Gallery, 2017). His work appears in major group shows across South Africa and New York, and is part of collections such as the Art Bank Collection and Riboville Collection.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Thokozani's artwork delves into the realm of dreams, where his narrative unfolds amidst the fluidity of time and space. Within this ethereal dimension, Thokozani's identity merges with a metaphysical setting, a forest adorned with a multitude of flowers and vibrant purple foliage.  In this intricate tapestry of existence, Thokozani finds himself ensnared in a perpetual whirlwind of unfamiliar song and dance. a language expressed not through speech, but through melody, resonating with an enchanting vibration. Embedded within this experience is a profound understanding that being encompasses more than mere humanity, hinting at the concept of a meta-human consciousness.
