Lulama Wolf

Lulama Wolf is a visual artist living and working in Johannesburg, South Africa. She stands at the intersection of Neo-Expressionism and Modern African Art, interrogating pre-colonial African experience. Her smearing, scraping and deep pigment techniques echo those used in vernacular architecture.

History and the proof of life are the core concepts of her work. Where life in black spirituality has been denied, she presents a counternarrative by creating two-dimensional paintings to embody the simplicity and deep spiritual power of the native eye. Her motivation is both tender and protective of her imaginary world. She creates a photographic and graphic experience that morphs and shapeshifts into a higher dimensional plane.
