About the Item
Nicky Marais, Tower with Blue, 2023, Acrylic paint and ink on fine art paper
Nicky Marais is a Namibian artist, educator and activist. Having recently relocated from the capital city of Windhoek to the small town of Oranjemund in the south of Namibia, her recent artworks reflect on this move and relocation/dislocation. Marais says;
“Driving the thousand kilometres between my two homes, between the familiar and the new, I pass towers and towers and towers along the road. And because I'm alone and contemplating the connections and disconnections in my life, I think about the inconceivable way these towers accept ephemeral signals, filter them from thin air, and transform them into images and voices. The unlikely conjunction between these tall steel and concrete towers and the invisible radio waves they are designed to capture delights and intrigues me, and speeds me on my way.”
Over the years Marais’ work has focused on specific symbols and forms, imbuing everyday objects and shapes with rich and complex meaning. Marais’ repetitive, iterative process singles out specific forms and shines new light on their relationship to herself and the world around her. In doing so she both seeks and creates physical manifestations of intangible concepts and feelings.
Marais has exhibited extensively in Namibia and abroad. In 2017, The National Art Gallery of Namibia hosted a solo exhibition by Marais, titled ‘Presence in Absence’. She is recently retired from an eleven year posting as the Head of Department of Visual Arts at the College of the Arts in Windhoek.
