MONGEZI NCAPHAYI: a solo show at residency 28 Lemkus Gallery in Cape Town
Our fellow Mongezi Ncaphayi is having a solo exhibition online, organised by Lemkus Gallery in Cape Town. The works in the exhibition were produced during his residency at Residency 28. To see the exhibition online, visit the gallery's webpage.
Lemkus Gallery presents Nostalgia for the Impossible, a solo exhibition by Mongezi Ncaphayi showcasing works produced during the Residency28 programme. Ncaphayi is a distinguished painter/printmaker who is well known for his ad libitum compositions on canvas and paper. With this project, Mongezi has pursued a more direct engagement with the political undertones of his previous work; particularly the notion of displacement in the context of pre- and post-colonial South Africa.
