Clement Mohale

Biography

Clement Mohale (b. 1994) is a South African contemporary artist from Bela-Bela, Limpopo. His journey with art began in childhood and was nurtured under the mentorship of the late Ernest Ditshego at The African Art Center, where he developed foundational skills and techniques. In 2007, he received the Manager’s Choice Award at the Cashbuild Art At HeArt Community Competition.

Mohale has since participated in numerous exhibitions and special projects, including his 2020 solo exhibition The Creative Adult is the One Who Survived at the NWU Gallery, North-West University, and the 2021 group exhibition Shattered Ceilings presented by The Pencil Club. He was a finalist for both The Lockdown Collection Portfolio (2020) with Artist Proof Studio and the University of Johannesburg, and The Green Recovery Portfolio (2020), a climate change initiative with the Canada Climate Law Initiative.

In 2021, Mohale completed a certificate in Contemporary Art Practice from the CAP Institute under the mentorship of Prof. Elfriede Dreyer, as well as a Printmaking certificate at Artist Proof Studio, Johannesburg. He collaborated with the great Esther Mnguni on a special project at the Pretoria Art Museum.

2021: Artist Proof Studio – Certificate of Achievement

I received a Certificate of Achievement for successfully completing the Printmaking Programme at Artist Proof Studio. During this time, I learned the foundational techniques of printmaking, which have since influenced the way I incorporate traditional methods of painting with printmaking in my work.


2021: CAP – Certificate of Completion

I received a Certificate of Completion for the Contemporary Art Practice (CAP) program, where I was introduced to the basic principles of art. The program was facilitated by Professor Elfriede Dreyer and was part of the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme (PESP), an initiative aimed at supporting artist development during the difficult period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
