Ebony/Curated Cape Town and Franschhoek at Bordeaux House invite you to solo exhibitions by Stanislaw Trzebinski, titled Exogenesis, and Kelechi Nwaneri, titled Soliloquy, that are worth a visit.
Ebony/Curated at Bordeaux House in Franschhoek is delighted to present Exogenesis, the solo exhibition by Stanislaw Trzebinski . This is Trzebinski’s second solo presentation with the gallery and is set to explore the interplay between the microscopic and the cosmic, inviting viewers to reconsider their place in the universe while bringing curiosity to the interconnected mysteries within.
“We look forward to welcoming you on Saturday 9th March at 11:30am” reads the invitation.
Ebony/Curated Cape Town is currently showing works by Kelechi Charles Nwaneri, a Nigerian-born mixed media artist. Titled Soliloquy, he explores through his introspective yet surreal lens, the intricate cultural landscape of his home- the vibrant city of Lagos- as it meets and merges with the multicultural influences of the world. His crafted and considered compositions thoughtfully position figures in captured scenes from his lived reality, initiating meaningful conversations on themes such as Social Values, History, Mental Health, and the delicate interplay between humanity and its environment.
A recurrent thematic element in Nwaneri’s body of work is the Black Hybrid Figure, a component that fosters new ways of being in the world- a conceptual freeing of oneself from historical ‘othering’. These hybrid figures traverse into the realm of spirituality, as Nwaneri reflects:
“A distinctive thread that weaves through my creations is the ‘Hybrid (Black) Figure,’ a concept rooted in the symbolism of scars and tribal marks. These figures bear a tapestry of symbols, prominently featuring Adinkra, Uli, and Nsibidi symbols, automatic lines, and Adire patterns.”
‘Soliloquy’, is the artist’s second solo exhibition with EBONY/CURATED currently on show in the Cape Town gallery.
