The gallery ethos is about cultural exchanges, running residency programs to further dialogue and enrich the difference between conceptualism, practices, political environments and cultural history in a contemporary art society

Resuming in Brussels tomorrow

@laurenrseiden pictured: ‘Nothing Untouched’, a mannequin’s arm, hand drawn and burnished in metallic graphite, extends from the gallery wall, while its delicate hand, left in its original worn state, reaches out as if to touch the work. Gesturing toward Cracked Reflections, perhaps this hand points to the piece’s maintenance (or lack thereof) and acknowledges the human touch and interaction that created the cracks on the seductive surface of the pools. This seemingly simple gesture addresses the onlooker and artist simultaneously.

𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌, on view at the gallery until October 28th

𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠….
… our pop up group show ‘Big Mama Thornton’ and London 1-54 fair will feature 𝐸𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑠 𝑀𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑎.

// Repost //

@154artfair 𝐸𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑠 𝑀𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑎 is a highly acclaimed artist whose work centres around the body and narrative. His captivating artworks depict hybrid figures, blending human and animal characteristics within surreal and baroque settings. Through a dreamlike approach, Maposa weaves intricate details and vibrant colour motifs into his works, delivering narratives that reflect the social and political disarray in Zimbabwe.

As a self-taught artist, Maposa initially drew inspiration from street art. He joined Village Unhu in 2013, where he had access to workspace and resources, allowing him to develop his skills under the guidance of Misheck Masamvu and alongside fellow artists in the collective. His artistic journey led to exhibitions at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe and Gallery Delta starting from 2014. He has also showcased his work at prominent art fairs such as FNB Joburg and Investec Cape Town. Maposa has participated in various residency programs in Johannesburg and Harare, earning recognition such as the second prize of the Emerging Painting Pan African Art Prize in 2019.

Epheas Maposa (@epheasmaestro) will be represented by Gallery Nosco (@gallerynosco) at 1-54 London 2023!

´𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑀𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘’
marked the second residency by the gallery in Brussels…

The exhibition will remain open for Brussels Drawing Week (02-08 October) and until the 28th October

𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧 recasts graphite, a traditional drawing medium, into unexpected, sculptural forms to bring the act of drawing into the foreground and redefine its terms and possibilities. By obscuring the definability of material or object, 𝐒𝐞𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧 aims to upend the hierarchy of art materials, diversifying the male-dominated canon of sculpture and its associated discussions on form and materials.

𝐒𝐞𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧’s autonomous sculptures are surrogates or artifacts of domestic labor performed by women to keep their house and/or self-maintained, such as cooking, cleaning, dusting, serving, washing, etc. These mundane rituals are essential to maintain order, but invisible in that the tasks themselves and the people who perform them are often unrecognized, furthering the question: What are the systems of labor that we recognize? At what cost? How do we resist and comply?
