Vusi Mbulali is a South African born, paint artist who specialises in portrait painting. Discovered when he was only 12 years old, Mbulali uses abstract art techniques to express a unique interpretation of the iconic faces he paints. While growing his art, Mbulali acquired and applied his skills in billboards sign writing and mural painting. His first solo exhibition took place in 2009 at Springs Art Gallery. Mbulali used this opportunity to display his retrospective portraits and to introduce a new technique in abstract art he had been working on. The reviews and feedback were overwhelmingly positive. He was also a part of just 30 artists to exhibit at the gallery as part of the 30 30 Contemporary Group Art Exhibition in 2014.
