Cape Town-based graffiti artist Faith47 searches for a tone of ink that goes directly to the heart. Her work is a fixation, merging the intimately fragile and most subtle gestures with a raw and violent darkness. Her images live on broken-down cars and old factories, down dusty side roads in lost towns, inner-city alleyways and highways, large buildings and small shacks… Flowing over from the streets into galleries with a sense of purpose.

She has been working on a series of video projects with Rowan Pybus and has been included in projects and exhibitions world wide– from Berlin and Birmingham to Paris and Los Angeles. Despite her extensive travels, she lives in South Africa where the soil is red and her blood feels uncomfortably yet peacefully on edge.
