Sipho Ndlovu

Sipho Ndlovu has been a dedicated full-time artist since 1985, establishing himself as a significant figure in the South African art scene. His artistic journey gained momentum with frequent exhibitions at the Sanderling Art Gallery during 1988 and 1989, leading to his first solo exhibition at the Shell House Art Gallery in Johannesburg in 1989.

In 1990, Ndlovu relocated to Cape Town, where he continued to refine his craft, experimenting with various media and techniques. His Cape Town studio became the hub of his creative output and commercial success. A notable highlight of his career came in 1999 when he completed a series of four paintings that chronologically depicted South Africa's history from the 1800s to contemporary times. This significant work was acquired by Judge Albie Sachs for the public collection of the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg, marking a pivotal moment in Ndlovu's career.

Further cementing his status, in 2000, Ndlovu was commissioned by Sun International to produce three paintings for the Grand West Casino in Cape Town. His works are part of several prestigious collections, including the Cape Town International Convention Center, the South African National Gallery, Coca Cola South Africa, and Sun International, reflecting his wide recognition and the impactful nature of his art.
