Viewing Forever Etched On My Mind: Gareth Nyandoro, and Mostaff Muchawaya

Since its founding in 2001, London gallery Tiwani Contemporary has established itself as one of the world’s most prominent and influential champions for African and African diaspora artists. That mission continues with their latest exhibition, featuring the works of Zimbabwean artists Gareth Nyandoro and Mostaff Muchawaya.

The focus of this show is Ruwa, in Zimbabwe’s Harare Province, where both artists live and work, with each artist offering their own depiction of the town that they call home, in both its physical and psychological senses. While their styles and mediums differ, both Nyandoro and Muchawaya brilliantly capture daily life and the mood of the town.

Nyandoro’s ink on paper works, mounted on wood panels, provide an intimate observation of the town’s urban development, and the dichotomy of the public-private ‘partnership’. Meanwhile, Muchawaya’s energetic, colourful portraits layer together the real people he observes with his memories, creating rich, textured works that capture the mood of Ruwa and its inhabitants. Together, Nyandoro and Muchawaya’s works invite London viewers to experience the place they call home with their psychogeographical portraits that are visually striking and evocative in equal measure.
