SOME HISTORY..........

 He was born 1940 in Orlando East, Soweto, South Africa. Alhough largely self-taught, Peter Sibeko was inspired to draw and paint by the personages and work of fellow “township” artists Walter Sibeko (father), David Mbele and Soloman Sekhaolelo.  He was also taught by Godfrey Ndoba and Ben Macala in a manner of ‘joint assessment’ and critique as they all struggled to make and sell their work in the dark days of ‘the struggle’.

Peter soon developed a talent for depicting people by outline - often on a background of sand glued to the paper or board matrix.  In this he was totally distinctive.  He adapted acrylic or oil painting to this technique to give an earthy texture to his works.

 Over time and mostly due to Peter’s persistence, the scope for sales with collectors and through exhibitions has expanded.  Apart from galleries in South Africa, Peter also exhibited in England, U.S.A (Washington and New York), Australia and Mauritius.
