From the artist: This work is from "Journeys beyond ideas", nikodemis' 6th solo exhibition in Johannesburg. Here he breaks away from what went before and works transformationally: each painting is a journey of letting go – free of the preconceptions and constraints of ideas, beliefs, opinions and artistic considerations. Concepts of identity and motivation are redundant in the process of making art in the timeless moment. The accidental chaos as elements and materials meet, deepen the experience beyond circumstance, emotions and feelings. Art becomes an experience of the unknowable. The new work also explores the sensual variety of colours, textures and textiles of Africa: the subtleties and drama of earth, the explosive meeting places between the elements of air and fire, and the sacred mixtures of water and oxides inside caves and in mines. It also draws on the exciting buzz of the cities and rural shacks, of fear-filled leafy suburbs where homes are mini medieval castles and unsavoury elements freely roam the streets armed to the hilt, while the innocent are imprisoned behind all means of security. Like the phoenix, a new country – art - is born from this madness and thrives either because of it or regardless, a colourful country with hope as huge as wave upon wave of fists shouting Amandla, crashing with optimism on the beach of dreams.
