“Invocations” is the second solo exhibition of Sibusiso Ngwazi (KwaZulu-Natal, 1999). Ngwazi is a self-taught South-African artist renowned for his nonfigurative paintings. His practice reflects his desire to break free from the constraints of traditional representational art and explores the limitless possibilities of abstraction. Ngwazi’s work is characterized by bold, vibrant colors and fluid lines that create a sense of movement and energy. His sweeping brushstrokes and the use of non-representational shapes are layered to create complex, multi-dimensional compositions. A master of texture, his variety of techniques and paints results in rich and tactile surfaces. Expressing a deep spirituality, Ngwazi’s paintings evoke a sense of transcendence. In the artist’s vision colors and forms have inherent spiritual properties and can be employed to entice an emotional response in the viewer, without relying on traditional representational imagery.
