About the Item
Abongile Sidzumo's works 'Dark Cloud' and 'Qoboqobo' recall sedimentary strata, coalescing into a landscape that reflects the complexities of identity and belonging. Through his use of tactile materials like leather offcuts interspersed with thread, Sidzumo creates layered compositions that delve into personal and communal narratives. Sidzumo's approach to art emphasizes both aesthetic and conceptual depth, inviting viewers to engage with the emotional resonance of his pieces while exploring the interconnectedness of individual and collective experiences. His work serves as a commentary on the layers of history and identity that shape our understanding of community and belonging.
Presented in conjunction with the inaugural HEAT Winter Arts Festival, for which the theme is Common Ground, 'as we see it' is a group exhibition that highlights the work of twelve artists exploring the festival’s central concern of bringing communities together. Working in a variety of mediums and styles, the artists respond through paintings, interspersed with leather, thread, marbles, and beads. This is the world, the show seems to suggest 'as we see it', the word ‘we’ encompasses not a common gaze but a series of scintillations, that is, little flashes of light that echo but resist coherence.
