EDUCATION ENDOWMENT AUCTION 56 98 SANDILE GOJE SOUTH AFRICAN 1972– Kids Watching Christmas signed, dated 2012, numbered W/P, inscribed with the title in pencil amd embossed with the Artist Proof Studio chop mark in the margin linocut R15 000 – 20 000 Sandile Goje is an artist and printmaker and works as a designer at Koch Ceramics in Grahamstown. Prior to this he was a student at Dakawa Art and Craft Community Centre. At Dakawa, Goje was taught by Swedish printmakers Kristina Anselm, Malin Selman and Eric Mbatha and Joel Sibisi. Goje was awarded a bursary to study at the Grafik Skolan in Stockholm, Sweden in 1994. He has since exhibited in South Africa and abroad. Although the Swedish printmaking influence is evident in Goje’s work, it remains inalienably African. Goje creates detailed and meticulously textured works, often working directly on the lino, creating remarkable nuances to his black and white prints. Goje work is uniquely personal and through his images he wishes to reveal his vision of Eastern Cape culture, to those who are unfamiliar with it.
