The phenomenal artists whose works are on auction are testimony to the Legacy that APS has created. Like APS our passion is creating and we believe that South Africa’s future lies in the hands of families and communities working together for the growth and development of all. Since 2004 we have been touched by the family at APS and have been humbled and in awe of the quiet way they go about developing brilliance. Sizwe Khoza embodies all that both Legacy and APS stand for, knowing his talent, working tirelessly to perfect it while simultaneously giving back to his community of young artists so they too can grow and leave a Legacy of their own. Through his art, Sizwe looks at the people that make up our rainbow continent, with a specific focus on the more obscure and lesser known individuals and communities, thereby capturing their essence in that instant. That is the Legacy Sizwe leaves for us to enjoy into the future. Sizwe Khoza was born in Mozambique and moved to South Africa in 1995. He matriculated in 2010 from Nkumbulo Comprehensive School and attended Saturday classes at Artist Proof Studio. Khoza graduated from Artist Proof Studio 2012 and was one of the top students in his class. In 2013 he was offered a residency at William Humphrey Art Gallery (WHAG) in Kimberley under the mentorship of Dumisani Mabaso. Khoza was then offered an internship at Artist Proof Studio and is a teacher in Printmaking for first and second year students. Twice a year he travels to Mozambique to take photographs and upon return creates new works inspired by his visit home. Khoza specializes in monotypes and recently had an exhibition at Artist Proof Studio. DONATED BY THE ARTIST for the APS Education Endowment Fund
