About the Artist

Gape Modiegi is a Fine Artist from Botswana , currently doing his Degree program in Fine Arts.

Gape is using zebra as the main icon in his artworks , showcasing the beautiful landscapes , wildlife , culture and all other roots of Botswana .Zebra is the beautiful animal that have to be exposed to the world and pass the message through the use of visual images mixing it with the life of Botswana or Africa. With the use of acrylic paints , Gape paints his semi abstracts to reveal the lives of Botswana with the use of warm colour that shows the dry Kalahari Desert , blondes landscapes as well as the vast grasslands of Makgadikgadi Pan where zebras are mostly found. In social life , Gape uses the zebra motifs to depict Botswana culture with its different elements.
