ZANDILE TSHABALALA . Representing the African woman with power and passion. The artist taps into topics of beauty, sensuality and the relationship between the black female body and the landscape. An outstanding print from award winning artist Zandile Tshabalala who has recently held sold-out shows in German and the UK. Zandlile Tshabalala was Born in Soweto, South Africa, 1999 where she continues to live and work. Zandile Tshabalala’s arresting figurative works write new narratives around the roles that Black women play in art history. Inspired by artists like Kerry James Marshall, Henri Rousseau, and Njideka Akunyili-Crosby, as well as personal experiences. Tshabalala says her portraits are meant to “to re-represent the Black woman in a more confident, sensual, beautiful manner.” Tshabalala deliberately inserts Black women into the canon that had previously excluded, marginalized, and disrespected them.

She draws inspiration from the natural environment of Okinawa and the Kacho-ga of Ryukyu paintings. She has a strong interest in the subject of Kacho- ga (flowers-and-birds painting), which led her to create paintings that incorporated both paradise and flowers-and- birds painting and the insects that support the flowers and birds. Marina has exhibited throughout Japan and holds a Ph.D. in Japanese painting from Okinawa Prefectural University of Art where she is a lecturer.

THONGCHAI YUKANTAPORNPONG
Gallery favorite Thongchai Yukantapornpong creates art with order and patterns as the bases for his search for pure form. In his work you can see overlapping patterns of line and color in a geometric arrangement with a luminous surface. What is revealed is beauty in the balance between opposing things - between light and dark, movement and stillness, and the creation and disintegration of forms. His inspiration has roots in many areas including
the textiles and clothing worn to the temples.
