Khanyi Mawhayi

Black and White Paradise

Cape Town

Vela Projects is proud to present KHANYI MAWHAYI’s solo exhibition, Black and White Paradise, as the gallery’s inaugural showcase.

The title, Black and White Paradise, comes from the artist’s desire for simplicity – to live in a ‘black and white’ world. Accordingly, this body of work sees Mawhayi experiment for the first time with black and white lines of woolen thread. These are coupled with striking bands of colour made with contours of oil stick, another exciting departure for the artist.
