About Musawenkosi

Musawenkosi Nkosi

From a young age making toy cars from recycled bottles and wire just like other kids, I became inspired by all the scrapheap and recyclables that were scattered around the recycling center and how I can use it to create collage art works.
I am a South African based self-taught artist whose paintings aim to convey a narrative of the emotions, fragility, beauty and ever-changing nature of life, from my own personal experiences of living in a diverse country as South Africa.
Through my work i find and express emotions shared by many people in the country, especially those living in mainstream society. My role as a struggle artist naturally turns to one of charting the dramatic social and political developments in post-apartheid South Africa, addressing issues of crime, greed, poverty, corruption and government accountability in the new South Africa.
Political and social incident motivates me to visit community recycling facilities where I spend the days meticulously selecting every detail for my art works.
Scouring the scrapheaps and recyclables for discarded objects, a creative obsession evolved into recycling the waste of society into a powerful and thought-provoking platinum for social injustice political oppression and poverty.
The Raw materials used represent the act of survival while the texture stresses questions of identity within society. I use materials of different sizes and textures in a aim to match the allowing for a three-dimensional effect on a flat surface. I aim to mix paint with vision, collage with story and character with meditation, producing artwork that reflects a release of energy imbued with life and raw simplicity.
My overall aim is to evolve as an artist into not only a better artist who is a master of his craft but also into a better human being as well. I am to touch and change people's lives with my art, to make a difference by producing work that makes people stop to reflect on the world around them and see the beauty of/in it as well. I want people to embrace all that they are and to see the beauty in life even through the hardships.
