Bicycle Kick (2009) William Kentridge – Kentridge is a leading South African artist who had his first exhibition in 1979 and is internationally famous for his prints, drawings, films, animations, theatre and opera productions.
World Cup South Africa 2010 (2009) Marlene Dumas – Dumas was born in South Africa and now lives in Holland. Her ability to instantly capture the character of her subject has brought her critical and commercial success.
Football Miracle (2009) Zhong Biao – Making use of representations that resonate with both Chinese and Western culture, Biao has risen to stardom for works that offer sometimes strange and elusive meanings reminiscent of the contradictions of our global environment.  South Africa 2010 (2009) Romero Britto – Britto works in a variety of media, including sculpture, murals and graffiti. His intrepid and strident colour combinations reflect a Brazilian aesthetic. Stadia (2004) Julie Mehretu – Mehretu is an Ethiopian-born artist who is known for her explosive and technically brilliant paintings and prints. Her work conveys architectural or draughtsman-like exactness.  The Good Game (2008) Hassan Musa – Musa is a mixed-media artist and art critic born in Sudan. His artwork and writing have forged a new direction for modern Sudanese and African art.
Color Your Life (2008) Barthélémy Toguo – Toguo was born in M’Balmayo, Cameroon and settled in Germany after studying abroad. His migratory lifestyle relates the culture of globalisation while still expressing a strong affinity with his African heritage. Toguo founded the first formal art institution in Bandjoun, Cameroon in 1999.  Free Balling (2008) Kendell Geers – Geers’s work was born out of the highly charged atmosphere of apartheid South Africa, of which he was an outspoken critic. His work continues to be confrontational and unfailing in its critique of social issues.
The World Watches…World Cup South Africa (2009) Charles Fazzino – Fazzino has been a celebrated artist for many decades, known for his bold and striking three-dimensional pop imagery that captures the joy and exuberance of the world as he experiences it.
Football Continent (2008) Soly Cissé – Cissé is a Senegalese artist born in Dakar. He is a prolific painter, sculptor, designer and photographer. He is concerned with man’s self-destruction through the increasing dissolution of moral thresholds.
Shoo(t) Q Taro and Ten Braves (2009) Akira Yamaguchi – Through brilliant technique and a sly wit, young Japanese painter Akira Yamaguchi combines classical Japanese painting and modern Japanese pop and cartoon culture to striking affect.
The Midas Touch (2009) Robert Slingsby –Slingsby’s sculptures and paintings centre on a type of personal myth-making that is reminiscent of cave art of the Khoi-San in the Cape. His mythological iconography is still highly relevant to the everyday state of affairs of South Africa.
Swanker Ball (2009) Kay Hassan – Growing up in apartheid South Africa, Hassan uses found materials to poetically describe the disillusionment and harsh beauty of the urban environment.
The Battle (2008) Cameron Platter – Platter is a young South African artist whose work boldly quotes modern pop culture, both celebrating and critiquing it in a unique and stylised way.
Red Elephant (2009) Isolde Krams – German-born sculptor and performance artist Krams has a strong affinity for Africa. Her sculpture Red Elephant was bought for FIFA’s Swiss headquarters and, as with many of her works, centres on nurturing and caring for the earth.
Stadium (2009) Peter Eastman – Early in his career, Eastman eschewed a formal arts education to be a full-time painter. This choice resonates in paintings that encourage the viewer to delve a bit deeper into the works to find their meaning.
