This landmark exhibition celebrates generations of APS alumni, including featured artist Mbongeni Buthelezi.

Born in KwaZulu‑Natal - the home of the KZNSA Gallery and moved to Springs, on Johannesburg’s East Rand as a teenager - Buthelezi transformed limited resources into possibility. From sculpting with clay and cement to pioneering a technique of melting discarded plastic into vivid, painterly portraits, his work, now internationally recognised, reminds us that art is for people, for dialogue, and for change.

From murals that speak across cultures to pieces showcased at the climate summit COP27 in Egypt in 2022, Buthelezi’s practice proves that passion and persistence - not expensive materials - create lasting impact.

Featured artworks:
1. Reflections, Edition EV7/10, Lithography, 2025
2. Pedals And Patience, Edition, EV7/10, Screenprint, 2025
3. Women In Solidarity, EV7/10, Screenprint, 2025

πŸ–ΌοΈ These works form part of the exhibition and are available for purchase. Each purchase directly supports the artist, Artist Proof Studio Artist Proof Studio , and us at the KZNSA Gallery - a non‑profit and Public Benefit Organisation rooted in KwaZulu‑Natal - enabling us to continue our vital work.

For any exhibition, walkabouts are special moments - they take us beyond the gallery wall, tracing the creative journeys of the artists and deepening our understanding of the stories embedded in the works.

With that in mind, join us this Saturday morning for a guided walkabout reflecting on Artist Proof Studio’s legacy in artistic practice, education, and access within the visual arts.

✨ Opening night at the KZNSA Gallery was a celebration of legacy, learning and community.

On Thursday, 28 May, we welcomed guests to the launch of 35 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 π‘¨π’“π’•π’Šπ’”π’• 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒇: 𝑨 π’π’†π’ˆπ’‚π’„π’š π’Šπ’ π‘·π’“π’Šπ’π’•π’Žπ’‚π’Œπ’Šπ’π’ˆ by A Artist Proof Studio

The evening began with words from KZNSA Executive Director Russel Hlongwane, reflecting on the importance of hosting organisations like APS in Durban’s cultural landscape.

Kim Berman, co-founder of APS, spoke about the studio’s founding vision - to create access to artistic training and opportunity - and paid tribute to the late Nhlanhla Xaba, whose contribution and commitment helped shape that vision into reality.

Nathi Simelane, APS Chief Operations Officer, shared the rich history of APS and highlighted its notable alumni who continue to shape the arts industry.

This exhibition brings together works from APS alumni across generations, alongside linocut portraits by current students - a powerful dialogue between past and present. Artist Proof Studio at 35 reminds us that legacy is alive, carried forward through shared knowledge, ongoing learning and creative practice.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.
