About the Artist

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’.

The broad term ‘Township Art’ covered artists’ work that depicted everyday scenes in the shanties and streets of the township.  People about their daily chores, cleaning, cooking and just chatting were captured on board and paper in crayon, charcoal and pastel – whatever came to hand.
