Artist and Film Student, Cape Town
Hailed by Vogue as the coolest girl in Cape Town, the 20-year-old South African artist Tony Gum is hitting all the right notes. She is an ‘Instagram Art Star’, posting her eye-catching photographs on her news feed, thus using it as her own art gallery. Her trademark pastel colours, bold American sportswear and red lipstick on her feed has got us hooked, not to mention her work of Cindy Sherman-like self-portraits. Inspired by culture, religion, film and more importantly director Wes Anderson, she recreates classic branded advertisements for present times."
