Stevenson is pleased to present Landings by Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi, her second solo exhibition with the gallery and her first in Cape Town.
With her pared-down shapes and blocked colour zones, Nkosi seeks the power of stories told with the minimum information necessary. In these works - paintings, prints and a sound installation - conceived during the accelerated crises of the past year, the artist zooms alternately in and out to examine multiple meanings of safety and ground.

Chorus, 2021
Sound installation
5 min 14 sec
Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi in collaboration with Dion Monti -
Chorus - which intermixes television commentary, behind-the-scenes conversations and the ambient sounds of the gymnasium - examines the mechanisms by which physical endeavour becomes elite competition and mass entertainment. This encompassing work is a counterpoint to the paintings of human connection, the crucial, but often overlooked, centre around which such constructs are built.
