Sandile Radebe

Sandile’s work is centred around text, language and other writing systems. His process is therefore influenced by the process of reading, accumulating and retaining information. He reflects on his everyday encounter with language, in its varying forms, to see it anew. He achieves this through manipulating the form of text through exaggeration and/or through translating into other mediums. These translations create an experiential sense of text or sometimes accentuate the aesthetic beauty inherent in most writing systems. Balance, harmony, complimentaries and colour are some of the aesthetic devises he uses to achieve this.
