Study of the studio, 2022. Spraypaint on Paper. 162x110cm

Spraypaint on paper composition exploring abstract forms and spatial dynamics within the artist’s studio environment.

Study of the Studio reflects an introspective engagement with the creative environment as both a physical and conceptual site. Using spraypaint on paper, the work abstracts the geometry, rhythm, and spatial tensions of the artist’s studio—rendering the everyday tools, surfaces, and energies of making into a layered composition.

Rather than depicting the studio in representational terms, the work explores the spatial logic and material intuition that guide the creative process. It becomes a meditation on the studio not just as a workspace, but as a container for memory, experimentation, and ritual.

Through the use of line, form, and movement, Study of the Studio gestures toward the often-invisible labour embedded in artistic practice, while continuing Sandile Radebe’s broader inquiry into language, mark-making, and the architecture of thought.
