Robertson Yohane, Wire Artist
Robertson Yohane is the fourth born, and was born in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe in 1977. He attended Tangenhamo Primary School, and completed his O-levels at Zengesa High School in 1994. He then attended Wadjegora Art School in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe.

At the age of eighteen Robertson was forced to abandon his art studies when his mother relocated the family to South Africa in 1995. As a contract worker he was active in the local beer brewing industry, before moving on to data auditing at a food manufacturer. Robertson lost his mother, and two elder brothers by 2008, leaving him with the responsibility of supporting ten family members. He chose to pursue his love of art as a means of earning a living.

Robertson is active in Pretoria, and has garnered a reputation for fine wire art and craft. His work is unique and distinguished in form and skill. Those familiar with his work seek him out, and he is regularly contracted in to do work for embassies, shopping centre promotion campaigns, and events promotion companies.

If you wish to make use of his services, or you would like to commission an artwork, please feel free to contact him directly on his cell at 072 0295 612.
