Andrew was born in the small rural town of Moruleng in the North West province of South Africa. In his formative years, his family moved to the city of Johannesburg amongst the hustle and bustle of the urban life, where he currently resides. He completed his National Diploma in Fine Arts in 2012 in painting and drawing, and in 2013 he completed his BTech degree majoring in painting. He has participated in group exhibitions such as the University of Johannesburg student show case group exhibition, North-South central Fringe of Johannesburg group exhibition, North-South student show case traveling group exhibition to name a few. His most notable achievement is getting a painting merit award at the Ekurunuleni 2012 Thami Mnyele Fine Arts Awards, Curated Group Exhibition. He states “My work deals with the negative effects of rapid urbanization in Johannesburg and the pressures and the strains of the people I encounter and interact with on a daily basis as we go about our business. Based on my encounters with these people I felt the need to investigate the social predicament of my city and understand the root causes of the current inner-city decay. My work is a form of social commentary and deals with the socio-economic challenges that the majority of black South Africans face in post-colonial South Africa”.
