In the cacophony of colour pallets, paintbrushes and acrylics, how does a young visual artist find the choice for his beckoning empty canvas? Well, Martine Senkubuge found his muse in minimalistic yet satisfying strokes of charcoal on paper. He pairs his tools of the trade with a hyperrealist technique that he calls delicate, rigorous but mostly wonderfully immersing. To an untrained eye, his pieces could be confused for photographs. Rightly so, because as the name suggests, he paints beyond realism and then some.

For his maiden solo exhibition titled “part of us”, Martine chooses a bold advocacy tone by collaborating with people living with vitiligo and creating bodies of work that he hopes will dispel myths and stereotypes associated with this minority group.
