Bokani’s patterned, vivid pictures are breaking new ground in abstract painting.
Her painting colourfully evokes natural patterns of fleeting florals and feathery flight, poetically describing her belief in integral ecology.
Bokani is also using state-of-the-art virtual reality and projection-mapping technology to create impactful installations.
Her streetart builds on a tradition of protest art bringing complex, interconnected environmental and social issues to the wider public.
Bokani won the London audition of BBC 1’s The Big Painting Challenge 2018 series and went on to win the public vote in the televised show. Before being discovered by the BBC, Bokani was co-founder of a sustainability start-up for several years. She studied politics with economics at the University of Bath, and is pursuing a masters in computational art at Goldsmiths College.
Her studio is at Triangle Space Studios in London Fields . Bokani is Zimbabwean born and raised, she lives and works in London.
