Diane Victor

Diane Victor is a South African artist known for her technically masterful works in smoke, charcoal, and printmaking that address themes of social injustice, mortality, violence, and the human condition. Her large-scale smoke drawings, created by holding paper over flame, are particularly distinctive and have earned her international recognition. Victor is considered one of South Africa's most significant contemporary artists, whose unflinching imagery confronts the political and social realities of post-apartheid South Africa.
