Alfred Maphumulo - Bakhiwa

The 1st artist I met in Rockville Soweto while in search for the inner artist. !st day I met him He got me working on a piece He was doing for the National Department of Art and Culture. Through him I met a whole lot of artistic genuises throughout Soweto

Alfred was born at Moroka (Rockville) in Soweto in1970. As a child growing up he was inspired by his elder brother who was a comic artist. During the time he started school from his primary grades, he was appreciated and recognised by his peers and family as a talented young artist. He spent these formative years creating art works and helping schools in terms of art related projects right up until high school.
From 1990 to1994 he studied Fine Arts at Pelmama/Dobsonville College in Soweto. He furthered his studies doing a special art teacher’s training course at the Art Foundation in1995 followed by a graduate course in Art and Culture Management at Wits Business School in1997. In previous years he worked for different organisations, serving as an Art Facilitator/Co-ordinator, managing projects, producing his own art works, and also dealing in commercial art.
Alfred is currently teaching Fine Art for Ipelegeng community centre, targeting school students and out of school youth who have shown potential. Alfred empowers these students with skills and techniques so that they can apply this in their schools and create art for themselves.
Alfred is also running a small company called Genesis Art Collective with 3 partners mostly dealing with Print Making, Painting, Signage, Mural Designs, and Skill Transfer.   



Alfred’s art is inspired by the South African cultural heritage and social life within the community, as well as different character portraiture and portraits of South African political icons of the post apartheid era. The medium he prefers working with the most
is: oil, acrylic paint, pencil and mix medium.

PhilMoo Communicating via the lens

Met him a few years ago, He dated one or two of my friends, knew him as Philipi, reconnected with him last year this time around calling himself PhilMoo of PhilMoo Communications. There is a lot more to say about the man but I won’t He is a double lens who has a way with the camera, Handles it like a man handling a woman He is deeply in love with. I refuse to say much about him I will let His picture do the talking. I’ve only selected a few as most on this blog are his work and a lot more of his work is still on the way.
I always thought He was at his best when capturing people having a good time then I saw how he capture innocent souls all I can say is the man knows how to capture human emotion and make it last for ever.
                                                   He creates the most extraodinary collages has a magical team that delivers the work with or without him around. To book his services get them @  PhilMoo Communications
