Biography
Lazi Mathebula (also fondly referred to as “Greiispaces”) is a South African based art director and independent designer/artist who believes that real creativity involves transforming the ordinary and in a sense, turning realism on its head. His works reflect a recognisable fixation on finer detailing, the intricacies of the human anatomy, communication and a tasteful use of luminous colour to create long-lasting visual impressions. Where other artists abide within the realms of black and white, Lazi thrives in the grey spaces – the untouched, undiscovered parameters of creativity. Recents Exhibitions include “Expressions of Freedom” at the Constitution Hill Womens Jail Gallery & “A Path Less Deconstructed” at M Contemporary in Sydney, Australia. One of the selected artists for the Design Indaba Emerging creative 2013.
Followed by his debut group show with Kalashnikovv Gallery called the Illustrators Show.
Since then he has shown with the gallery three times and has even had his work on display for Creative Week in Zagreb, Croatia.
