Within South Africa we courier your artwork to your door - the shipping cost will show at the checkout. When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight. We will be in touch regarding the best options for you. Virtual hanging of art is an innovative service we offer that allows art enthusiasts and collectors to visualize how artworks will appear in their desired spaces before making a purchase. We digitally place the selected artworks on your walls, in the correct scale to achieve the desired aesthetic. This service not only helps in making informed decisions but also enhances the overall art-buying experience, providing a realistic preview of the final result and ensuring that the chosen artworks harmonize with the surrounding decor. Please contact us to make use of this service!

On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.

Moeketsi Moahloli
Moeketsi Moahloli
Born in Soweto, South Africa, Moeketsi Moahloli was raised by a loving single mother and experienced the challenges of life from a young age.
“Being raised by a single mother wasn’t easy,” the gentle artist reflects, “but she did her best to equip me with the necessary tools to survive in this world.”
A self-taught artist, Moeketsi financed his own education through bursaries and student loans. After matriculating in 2003, he enrolled at the University of Johannesburg in 2005 and worked hard to achieve his goals. He studied Multimedia Design and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in 2008.
From 2009 to 2015, he worked as a graphic designer, gaining valuable experience that continues to inform his artistic practice. In 2016, he volunteered to teach drawing classes under the mentorship of artist Edward Selematsela, who became a significant influence in his
journey.
Moeketsi’s passion for fine art flourished, and with support from the Emerging Artists Development Trust (EADT), he began exhibiting his work internationally, gaining recognition, popularity, and growing art sales.
His work is rooted in mixed media, using charcoals, soft pastels, newspaper collage, fabric collage, and acrylic paint. Charcoal allows him to create striking contrasts of light, texture, and composition, while soft pastels infuse his pieces with vibrancy and emotion. The use of newspapers introduces elements of news and storytelling, adding conceptual depth. Traditional fabrics feature prominently, symbolizing identity and expressing personal, cultural, and social connections.
Moeketsi’s delicate, layered works celebrate the people who leave impressions on the world he inhabits, and the rich cultural diversity that still surrounds him in Soweto today. His art captures life as he experiences it — at ground level — mirroring the everyday moments that define his community.
Moeketsi Moahloli has participated in numerous group exhibitions across South Africa. Since 2019, he has been an integral part of The Travelling Art Gallery, exhibiting in Europe. In Cape Town, he is represented by The Artists Gallery.
