of eight minimalist paintings and a video installation, is Thenjiwe Nkosi’s first solo show.
Although the partnership allows this, Nkosi sees and misses the value of directly working with or for people. “It’s become more solitary for the time being. That’s something I need to shift.” Instead of a studio-based intervention, Nkosi’s practice oscillates between the studio and social work. She implements the structural changes that she depicts in her art.
Nkosi’s painting method is rooted in a form of meditation that manifests itself in how her works are free-hand and consist of multiple layers of thin coats of paint. “I think the repetition and painting free-hand gives the work a vibration that wouldn’t be there if I chose to do otherwise. It’s painstaking but it’s meditative,” explains Nkosi. Meditation has “been a grounding practice for me” since she was introduced to it as a teenager practicing Wing Chun Kung Fu.
