About the Item
Waiting for equality iv, 2021. Acrylic ink on 100% cotton paper. 560 x 760mm
Nicky Marais is a Namibian artist, educator and activist who lives and works in Windhoek. Marais is well-known for her abstract artworks which draw on everyday life as well as the socio-political history of Namibia and icons from around the continent. Marais’ process is meditative and often involves coming back to a symbol or form over and over again.
In December 2019 Marais made a work titled ‘Ten Thousand Crosses’ during a public performance in which the artist used hand-carved bottle corks to stamp almost six meters of paper. In this new series of artworks Marais makes use of the same motif once again highlighting the tangible results of violence against vulnerable population groups in Namibia. These crosses are both commemorative and reminiscent of a voter’s cross, a mark of self-volition. 2021 has seen increased activism in Namibia around LGBTQ+ rights with movements like Equal Namibia and #bringpaulaandmayahome.
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’. Marais exhibited as part of StArt Art Gallery's group exhibition 'Look-see' in 2018. 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.

- Black on WhiteBy Enrico BenettaLocated in Miami, FL"Black on White" is a painting created by Enrico Benetta in 2010. This piece can be hung by itself, or be considered as part of a diptych with "White on Black". The painting comes unframed, with a total dimension of 28" x 59" x 5". This piece was made with acrylic paint, gesso, and corten steel - the signature materials that Benetta has become known for. Thanks to his excellent skills, the artist uses unconventional media to create truly unique artworks, that take the viewer to an aerial, restless dimension - despite the opposite nature of those materials. Benetta's work takes the heritage of Italian industrial design and fuses it with contemporary art, giving life to unique abstract pieces that spark the attention of art lovers worldwide. He studied Fine Arts in Venice, and his work has been featured in more than 25 exhibitions in the recent years, in addition to his collaboration with brands like Hermes...Category
