T. Kaashe

Botswana, 1971

BiographyThama Kase was born in 1971 on the farm Makriel in the Ghanzi district. In 1992 he joined the Kuru Art Project.
He loves to combine known animals with ones that he conjured up, as a result of his fantasy they become amusing and charming. He comments that these caricatures of animals stem from his childhood memories of hunting trips with his father. For a small boy the animals they encountered were enormous and frightening. In his dreams they became the caricatures he now likes to depict.
His work often has unusual colour combinations, but he admits to be very fond of pure black and white, as well. Together with the Kuru Art Project, Thama’s work has been exhibited worldwide and has been reproduced in the Kuru art calendar and many other publications.
