About
Curated with care, driven by vision.
Strydom‑Graves Gallery is committed to presenting, curating, and managing artistic initiatives that elevate creatives, empower local communities, and celebrate South Africa’s rich diversity. We believe the true power of art lies in creating an environment where everyone wins: artists receive visibility and support, communities are uplifted, and corporations build cultural capital through meaningful sponsorship.
Based in Johannesburg, we host exhibitions and art awards nationally that champion creativity across generations and styles. Our curated collection of exceptional South African artworks is perfect for collectors, as well as anyone seeking to enrich their space with original pieces that spark conversation.

Meet the Founders
Where love meets fine art.
Strydom-Graves Gallery is the creative collaboration between South African film and television producer and art collector Lizette Strydom and Australian-born multidisciplinary artist and curator Kailum Graves, whose work is exhibited internationally.
With a sharp eye for storytelling and talent, Lizette—who has formal training in Psychology—has produced award-winning content for VIA, kykNET, Showmax, and Spotify through her company, Lizette Strydom Films. Kailum, who holds an academic background in Art History and Philosophy and has directed art residencies, creates critically engaged work that explores the politics of image, memory, and media in striking visual forms.
Together, they blend cinematic vision with artistic daring—championing bold ideas, fostering new talent, and bringing art into unexpected spaces.
We are a 51% Black woman-owned Exempt Micro Enterprise (EME) with a Level 2 B-BBEE status, qualifying under the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA).
