Great Escapes: The digital artist and painter on the best in culture, food, and shopping in his hometown in South Africa
Artist Terence Maluleke is well aware that his hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa, has a reputation of being a gritty, crime-ridden metropolis and tends to be overlooked by travelers as a destination to visit.
The digital artist and painter, whose stylized portraits and still-lives explore contemporary Black urban experience, says that Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest metropolis, offers a robust arts, dining, and shopping scene. The Peech Hotel: This boutique hotel looks like a sprawling suburban home from the outside and is one of the city’s coolest places to stay with the best of contemporary South Africa design in all the rooms. I feel like I’m in an oasis when I visit—the gardens are perfect and impossibly quiet—it’s hard to believe Melrose’s shopping centers are five minutes away.Marble: Marble is the sexiest restaurant in Joburg.
Ethos: Modern Mediterranean in an uplifting setting with a seriously opulent cocktail bar. I love their take on the traditional Greek dish of youvetsi with orzo and chicken.BKhz recently marked its five-year milestone, and I was privileged to be a part of their celebratory presentation. The gallery stands out as a beacon of artistic brilliance and is a sanctuary for art enthusiasts and curious minds alike.
