  • About

    Born in 1969 in Ladismith in the Klein Karoo, Conrad Botes is a leading figure in South African contemporary art. He completed a degree in Second Phase Illustration at the Koninklijke Akademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in The Hague in 1994, followed by an MA in Fine Arts from Stellenbosch University in 1997. Botes’s painting and sculptural practice draw deeply from his long-standing engagement with comic-book aesthetics — a visual language he has interrogated and expanded for over a decade.

    In 1992, together with Anton Kannemeyer, he co-founded the influential and irreverent publication Bitterkomix, a platform that cemented their reputation for sharp social critique. Across his painting, printmaking, and graphic work, Botes explores the fraught dynamics of race, gender, violence, and power, employing biting satire to expose the contradictions embedded within South African society, politics, and religion.

     

    Botes has undertaken residencies in France, Australia, and the United States, and was awarded the prestigious Absa L’Atelier prize in 2004. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in Impressions from South Africa, 1965 to Now (2011), and at the 1–54 Contemporary African Art Fair in New York in 2015 and 2018. He currently lives and works in Cape Town.
