Purple Prowess

Pro Thusi is a self-taught international contemporary artist from Johannesburg, South Africa. His artwork demonstrates his mastery and versatility using a variety of unique mediums.

Pro was born on March 10, 1987, and has been bringing his art to life since the tender age of 8 and has been putting his heart and soul onto the canvas ever since. His career progressed from sketch artist to acrylic painter and now he focuses on recycled materials.

He is a master of “Recycle Art” where he uses tin cans, discarded single-use plastic bags, and a variety of other solid waste materials along with a glass blow torch, heat gun, and

soldering iron to create one-of-a-kind, environmentally friendly, masterpieces that many collectors have added to their personal galleries. His unique, life-like portraits captivate, truly turning ‘rubbish’ into a priceless treasure.

His work has been displayed in numerous exhibits, including:

• Julie Miller Investments Art
• Thebe Ya Mosadi “She is Power” RMB Turbine Art Fair
• Slee Gallery in Stellenbosch Gallery University Stellenbsoch

His work has been featured in a variety of auctions, including:

• FNB Childhood Development Fundraiser
• Lionel Smit Studio – Silapha Art Auction

Some of Pro’s commercial work is displayed at:

• Hyatt Regency Hotels
• Living Arts Emporium Galleries in Cape Town and Johannesburg

Pro’s social advocacy does not stop with repurposing recycled waste for his creations. He has also donated his works to the MAD Leadership Foundation raising several thousand dollars for charity auctions. When not working on his creations, Pro shares his wisdom with the Doug Whitehead Special School students as a volunteer art teacher.

ROLLED & TUBE
This safe and cost-effective packaging is our preferred packaging option. We'll remove the canvas from the stretcher frame and roll it up into this sturdy and protective cardboard tube for shipping. Upon delivery, simply have the canvas re-stretched at your local framer.FLAT-PACKED / BOXED
We package the artwork on its stretcher frame or in a frame. The artwork is securely bubble-wrapped and packed into a sealed cardboard box. This option offers good protection of your artwork while in-transit, without the additional cost associated with custom-crating.

CUSTOM-CRATED

We build a custom-crate specifically to provide the best protection for your artwork. However, it's also the most costly option. We recommend custom-crates for the transportation of fragile artworks such as sculptures, ceramics and very large painting
