Artist Jabu and his “Transformative Art”

Jabu’ calls his work “Transformative Art” because he chooses themes and subject matter that  inspire  change.  His  focus  is  to  create  beauty  and  balance  while bringing  attention  to causes he is passionate about.

     ‘Jabu  is  a  South  African  artist  who  has  been  exhibited  worldwide.  Brought  up  in  the Apartheid era, he uses his artwork to express his experiences of what is often an unfriendly world, there by bringing a positive element into it. His artwork is unique with a twist of both urban  and  contemporary  touch.  The  rich  and  vibrant  colors  capture  diverse  appeal  from abstract  work  to  artwork  inspired  by  elements  and  tapestry  from  his  African  background. The  choice  of  timeless  materials  from  mixed  media  to  oil,  to  maple  wood  and  polished aluminum  add  to  the  value  of  his  creations.  This  has  created  a  growing  demand  for  his signature style and contemporary perspective collection.

Growing up in South Africa, Jabu loved the wildlife and nature reserves. He enjoyed seeing the  animals  roam  free  while  his  own  freedom  was  limited.  Over  the  years,  Jabu  became aware  that  the  freedom  of  the  animals  around  the  world  was  threatened.  Recently,  the need  to  protect  the  wildlife  of  our  planet  has  become  desperate.  He  chose  to  create  the “Wildlife  Series”  because  of  his  passion  to  save  endangered  animals. The  last  great animals  of  our  earth  are  threatened  due  to  human  destruction  of  their  habitats,  pollution, fishing and hunting. His work captures the wonder and majesty of wildlife and their habitat. It is his hope that people will have a real call to action to do something today by supporting his work in turn supporting Non-profits who are fighting for this cause.  Read more...
