Trained as a sculptor at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in Cape Town, Vuyile Voyiya is perhaps best known for his remarkably articulated linocut prints, which, with their expressive and sensitive modulation of form, are about as close as one can come to achieving three dimensionality on paper. In this simple but unforgiving medium, Vuyile works largely with images of the human body. Often suspended in space, reacting defensively to an unseen threat, to a person or an action beyond the picture frame, the subjects of Vuyile's works induce a sense of extreme disquiet in the viewer. As well as an educationist, actor, television producer and curator, Vuyile is known as a filmmaker, notably directing and co-producing, with Julie McGee, The luggage is still labeled: blackness in South African art 2003. This, as the title suggests, was an interrogation through a series of interviews on whether the processes of transformation in South Africa had achieved any improvement in the situation for black artists.
