About the Item
Kelechi Nwaneri, born in Lagos, Nigeria, is a self-taught mixed-media artist who has quickly gained recognition in the contemporary art world. Nwaneri's artistic style is characterized by a unique blend of realism, surrealism, and postmodernism. He often incorporates indigenous symbols, such as Adinkra, Uli, and Nsibidi, along with mystical, metaphysical, and allegorical imagery to create visually striking compositions. His signature "Black Hybrid Figure" is a recurring motif that symbolizes the concept of scars and tribal marks. In his debut solo exhibition titled ‘Modern Marks’, Nwaneri deviated from his usual figurative representations to explore the concept of creating purely from his subconscious. Using themes influenced by surrealism and neo-expressionism, he explored ideas that are seemingly impossible in reality.
“With this group of works, surrealistic ideas, images and painting techniques are explored and experimented with, while the process of creation is almost entirely spontaneous, instinctive and automatic. The satellites and abnormal buildings in the paintings show the times we live in; the internet age, and an age of unusually extreme engineering. The predominance of plants and flowers calls to attention the effects of deforestation and other negative man-made activities on nature, the climate and global warming” - Kelechi Nwaneri

'In The Box'
Located in Cape Town, ZA
Born and raised in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zemba Luzamba interrogates social and political power structures in Africa, transforming the everyday experiences of African migrants through his bold imagery. Bordering on satire, Luzamba subtly comments on a range of socio-political issues, appearing to mimic and question the colonial lifestyle of the post-colonial elites. A contemporary realist, his captivating paintings, produced over weeks of re-working and layering with oil, illustrate African figures engaged in various activities, from political ritual to dapper men engaged in moments of leisure. Zemba Luzamba, born 1973, currently lives and works in South Africa after having relocated to pursue his career as an artist. This experience has allowed him an intimate view of migrant communities, informing many of his works over the last 15 years. His work has been exhibited extensively in a range of solo and group shows such as 'When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting’ at Zeitz Mocaa, and can be found in international and local collections, namely the Irma Stern...
