South African artist Lionel Smit Studio is best known for his contemporary portraitures executed through large-scale canvases and sculptures. His subjects are most often women of an ethnic Cape Malay community. For the artist, this group epitomises South Africa's complex and hybrid identity.

Smit begins each artwork by laying a base layer of abstract lines and swathes of colour. Over this, he then draws the face or bust of his sitter. His bronzes are a blend of naturalism and abstraction, with their heavily modelled, sometimes fragmented surfaces.
