Biography
Born in 1993, Harare, Zimbabwe.
Lives and works in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Majiri has received his Diploma of Fine Arts, National Gallery of Zimbabwe School of Visual Art & Design in 2019 specialising in painting and printmaking. Coming from a background of printmaking with an interest in poetry and martial artists, Majiri drives his work to incorporate poetic juxtaposition of colour and form with automatic writing and painterly mark making. Floating in and out of figuration derived from the idea of immersion in natural and passionate, his works bring into focus that which is intensely physical and human, while escaping the white noise of day-to-day survival.
Majiri was awarded the prize for best printmaking in New Signatures award at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, as well becoming the finalist for the ILO Fast Forward Competition for the Arts in 2019. In 2019 he was the finalist in EPI, the pan-African emerging painting prize.
