About the Item
This work was included as part of a curatorial conversation on abstraction, inspired by the juxtaposition of two contemporary South African abstract artists: Mary Visser and Sibusiso Ngwazi.
The exhibition acted as a looking glass, bringing into focus two artists who view abstraction through different lenses. Despite no link in their artistic journeys and backgrounds, both artists use unpredictability in their process and a lack of an obvious formula to create works of expressive visual freedom. There is an illusion in these abstracted paintings that questions the viewer who might search for a comfortable focal point. It’s not there, as both Visser and Ngwazi use colour, movement and spontaneity to create compelling compositions which seek to surprise, redefine, and question our focus.
Sibusiso Ngwazi (1999 -) is a self-taught artist born in Kwazulu Natal and now lives and works in Cape Town. Painting since 2013, Ngwazi’s works are grounded in abstraction and spirituality, breaking free from traditional representational art. Ngwazi uses movement, imperfections, and raw emotion to convey a sense of transcendence through the use of complex and multi-dimensional compositions with bold, and vibrant colours.
“He refuses a point, a control, surprises the eye with uncanny congregations of colour-line-energy. At the same time, they can still the mind, arrive at some inscrutable grace. Ngwazi’s paintings are pagan, animistic, wild, dystopian. One relishes, wonders. There is rarely a moment, I imagine, that the artist doubts himself. If he has freed himself and the viewer from over-assertion, he has also freed himself and the viewer of any latent anxiety” - Ashraf Jamal for Artthrob

Guillaume Moschini is a French abstract artist mentored by the internationally recognized Supports/Surfaces artists Claude Viallat, Patrick Saytour, and Vincent Bioules.
Much like Helen Frankenthaler, Moschini’s work depends on process: unprimed, raw canvas, a diluted pigment (mixed inks, acrylics, and paint thinners), and the unconscious phenomenon that occurs through the process of art making.
In his organized studio, he constructs compositions of color, transparent tints, overlays and shapes.
Liquid pigments melt into the raw canvas with precarious intention.
Meditation on the proper tools, balance of color, form and the flow of material is his strategy.
Moschini’s palette is reinvented per series, sometimes vibrant and sometimes muted.
Conceptually, Moschini’s work echoes Kenneth Noland’s minimalism without the restraint of flatness. His transparency variations within the color field and transparent overlays reinvent a contemporary and unique approach. Moschini reflects on a time in the history...
