artharare is proud to present Richie Madyira’s latest solo exhibition, Kuseri Kwezviso Zvakanaka (Behind the Beautiful Faces).Born in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 1989, Madyira graduated from the National Gallery of Zimbabwe School of Visual Art & Design in 2007. Now based in Cape Town, South Africa, he works as a full-time artist, creating vibrant figurative paintings that celebrate resilience, identity, and hope.

Madyira’s distinctive use of bold, unconventional colors transcends realism, evoking joy and harmony. His work captures the spirit of Zimbabweans and fellow immigrants in South Africa, depicting their daily struggles alongside moments of triumph—whether in the pride of dressing up, weekend celebrations, or small victories in the pursuit of a better life.

Drawing from his own experiences, Madyira’s art tells powerful stories of marginalized communities, shedding light on their challenges while inspiring perseverance and transformation.
