Ludumo Maqabuka experiences modern society as highly defined by the influx of popular culture and the influence it has on new ideologies and personal identities. His work highlights how it presents in township life and interprets South African society with all its complex dynamics, exposing the societal norms and the formation of constructed identities within a frame of popular culture.

His portrait style is reminiscent of Pop Art, using vibrant solid colours to bring character to faces and create the overall mood of the work.
