The Soweto Art Scene is a phoenix that continues to rise
above the grit of Contemporary African Living.
This was the logical progression, at the opening of the Samson
in Soweto Exhibition @Nexdor
Vilakazi Street last Thursday
evening.
Mashumi Arts Projects orchestrated the perfect tapestry to engage
the dynamic Soweto Art Scene, with the event attracting
an audience from just around the corner, and even further than that, from seasoned lovers of art to industry newbies.
Grolsch and Nederberg kept the bubblies under, as crisp
new conversations sprung from canvasses riddled with indigenous code
and spiritual dialect.
Samson Mnisi's offering is a celestial flight through
time and space, a quantum cosmic embrace between spirit
and form.
Some of the pieces broke away completely from form, to elevated hues, of blue galaxies where stars and ideas are born, while others created from a combination of paint, oils and mud, explored the density and gravity of form.
This interplay of polarities provided an enchanting visual narrative.

The showcase that delighted and
ignited patrons, was skilfully arranged by the
curatorial genius of Zanele Mashumi of Mashumi Art Projects.
For those of you that missed the opening, there is hope yet for spiritual and creative elevation. The Show runs until the end of June 2014. Come through and engage one of many Soweto Art Industry offerings to the global contemporary art lanscape.
