Dark Grey Wall II

Sam Nhlengethwa
Dark Grey Wall II, 2020
Collage on canvas
Work: 100.5 x 90.5 x 10 cm

Over the course of his career, Sam Nhlengethwa’s ongoing Interiors series has become an important space for the artist to pay various tributes, bringing cultural icons into conversation with his practice and each other. The painting-collage works comprise an eclectic constellation of references and are presented together as their own contained interior space. The suite of painting-collages that make up this series was made under the unique circumstances of a nationwide lockdown, confining the artist to his home studio but with his family surrounding him. Work such as Dark Grey Wall II carries direct references to Nhlengethwa’s personal domestic space in this unique time.
