Faith47

Faith47 is an internationally acclaimed studio-based and street artist who is currently living in Cape Town, South Africa. She is married to the famous Chinese street artist Dal. Faith47 is known to be among the most politically engaged artists and defends people’s rights. There is a notion of social awareness in most of her works expressed through the painting of solitary characters but also the messages that are written along with them. As a matter of fact, what she paints is directly inspired by the social and political issues in South Africa, a post-apartheid country with still hard conditions of living. Sometimes her works feature phrases from the South African Freedom Charter, a document which is characterized by its opening claim ‘The people shall govern !’. So Faith47’s creations are overtly dealing with the complexities of our human condition and our existential preoccupations.
