ABOUT MADODA FANI
Born in 1975 in Western Cape, South Africa, Madoda Fani now lives and works in Cape Town.
Inspired by his African heritage, Madoda’s works carry a dramatically unique sensibility. They are large in scale, bold and emblazoned with character. His hand-coiling, burnishing and smoke-firing techniques are a contemporary evolution of traditional ceramics indigenous to Southern Africa.
Represented by Southern Guild Gallery, Madoda has work in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Mint Museum (USA) and in the collections of the LOEWE Foundation and HRH Franz, Duke of Bavaria and has been included in Christie’s London annual design auction.
Fani comes to Denmark thanks to the generous support of Indian Ocean Craft Triennial.
Madoda Fani will be visiting Kwoorabup from early August until late September.
