Cape Insights

Happy birthday to Madoda Fani! Inspired by his Xhosa heritage, Fani makes hand-coiled, burnished and smoke-fired pieces that are a contemporary evolution of the traditional ceramics indigenous to Southern Africa.

Although he uses traditional techniques, Fani’s curvaceous sculptures and hand-carved embellishments are entirely distinct. He works on a large scale, building organic-shaped forms whose smooth surfaces are punctuated by intricate, repetitive patterns lending them a scaled appearance.
