Peter Musami

Peter Musami (Harare, 1981) is a visual artist who has been working in Harare, Zimbabwe, since the late 2000s. He attended the National Gallery of Zimbabwe School of Visual Arts and Design, from 2012 to 2013. During this period he perfected himself in the assembly of different materials and in painting, experimenting with ideas and techniques of other established artistic genres. With influences derived from nature, social culture and music, he developed as a painter and sculptor whose work does not require a search for new art forms, but rather a need to discover and demonstrate different dimensions to the already established artistic genres of assembly and abstraction. With a vibrant color palette of oil paints and intricate shades of lines, Musami’s abstract expressionist works describe and evoke the history of his life experiences and contemporary culture. The works of Peter Musami are present in important private collections. He has exhibited in various solo and group exhibitions in Zimbabwe, South Africa United Kingdom, Canada and Switzerland.
