South African Figurative Artist of Musicians in Charcoal and Pastel
Daniel Selepe is a South African figurative artist working in Cape Town. Largely self-taught, he was mentored by the Cape painter Hendrik Cloete, in whose Wynberg studio he worked for six years.
Charcoal and pastel are his preferred media. His drawings show people in quiet, everyday moments, most often musicians absorbed in their instruments, built from flowing strokes and soft blending. His work has been reproduced on cards by Clifton Publications in Cape Town and appears regularly at South African auctions. Published sources differ on his year of birth (1946 or 1953).
