Colour my soul exhibition until January 19
Ayanda Nkosi's work is an expression of happiness.
WHITE RIVER – Colour my soul, artist Ayanda Nkosi’s first exhibition, proves that art is creativity without borders. Her collection’s debut was well received by local artists at Casterbridge’s White River Gallery in December.
“Colour my soul features abstract, mostly minimal art,” she explained. Ayanda’s work is an expression of happiness. For this effect, she used primary colours, black and white on a brown paper canvas. She tends to use geometric shapes as a background. “I do this to capture the purity of the subject matter, while I use white to add texture and depth.”
Ayanda used the Superblur method to create objects that are less defined, but full of meaning. Each painting has an abstract bar code that gives it a unique Superblur identity. “These bar codes reflect that we are all unique, yet we are part of a system.”
Art enthusiast Sharon Yoko was thrilled with the collection. “It is so unique and different, but very well done,” she remarked. The gallery’s Marlize Meyer said that Colour my soul has arrived at the perfect time of year. “It’s the festive season and I feel that her works resonate with the joy of December. However, as many art lovers are on holiday, we have extended the exhibition to January 19.” Meyer invited Lowvelders to pay a visit to the gallery to colour their souls.
