Isaac Zavale, born in Maputo, Mozambique (1987), is a fine artist, muralist and co-founder of Prints on paper studio. He graduated from Artist Proof Studio and currently lives and works in Johannesburg.
Zavale has been curating group shows and printmaking workshops with a fellow artist friend, Minenkulu Ngoyi, since 2011. He has been working hand in hand with his Alphabet Zoo partner Minenkulu Ngoyi running zine and printmaking workshops for the last couple of years.
He has participated in numerous group exhibitions both locally and internationally. In 2015 he and Minenkulu Ngoyi were invited to be guest lecturers for 3rd-year students for alternative printmaking, zine-making and bookbinding courses at the University of Witwatersrand.
Zavale’s work is about the social and political issues in South Africa and globally. He sees it as telling an ongoing story or expressing his perspective on certain issues.
