Lady Skollie, South African Artist

South African artist Lady Skollie discusses with the ±«Óătv’s Victoria Uwonkunda the use of symbolic fruit in her work and the pressures of creating a mural in just 2 days.

Lady Skollie is a visual artist, passionate about defying taboos. Her works are explosions of colour often featuring symbolic fruit such as open ripened paw paws and bananas representing male/female relationships and highlighting the enormous problems of HIV/Aids and sexual violence in her native South Africa. The ±«Óătv’s Victoria Uwonkunda follows her from her studio in Johannesburg to the Tyburn Gallery in London, where as part of her first UK solo exhibition, she creates a mural on the wall in just 2 days.
