Six South African artists have been selected to showcase their work at an international exhibition in London later this month, joining 14 other artists from ten countries.
The artists were chosen as part of LOAV Worldwide's curated group, which considers the quality, originality and long-term potential of their work.
Their paintings, portraits and mixed-media pieces explore themes of identity, resilience and contemporary African life.
The exhibition will introduce their work to international audiences, including art collectors and curators, potentially opening doors to artwork sales, professional partnerships and further international opportunities.
The exhibition takes place at London's Indra Gallery on the 28th and 29th of November.

26-year-old Cyril Ngqwala will take part in a space agriculture experiment involving rooibos seeds.
Nxwala will join a group that has assembled a Nano Lab, which will carry the seeds into space to test how they respond to space radiation.
Once the seeds return to Earth, learners from schools in the Cederberg and Parklands College in the Western Cape will plant them and compare their growth with seeds that remained on Earth.
The project aims to explore how space conditions affect rooibos plants while giving learners hands-on experience in science.
