Portia Zvavahera
Zvakazarurwa

Portia Zvavahera is emerging as one of the outstanding artists of her generation. Born in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1985, she has developed a painting practice that combines a unique combination of techniques – painting, printing, batik – to construct a visually beguiling personal cosmology featuring figures, creatures, shapes and shadows. Working in a studio in her home in Harare, she weaves together dreams, fantasy and stories of herself and her family into densely patterned, intensely coloured, mesmerising paintings.    

The exhibition is curated by Tamar Garb in collaboration Kettle’s Yard where it is showing until 16.02.25
