    Paul Ndema, Uganda Ndema Paul Was Born in Uganda in 1979

    Paul Ndema, Uganda Ndema Paul was born in Uganda in 1979. He studied at the Margaret Trowell School of Industrial and Fine Arts, Makerere University from 1999-2002 where he obtained a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts. In this latest series of work, Paul Ndema’s technical proficiency together with his satirical interpretations of religious moral order gives his paintings a unique and playful insight into the meeting of tradition and modernity. His final pieces are the result of his experiences growing up in a Catholic family together with his questioning of the ethics of those in positions of power and influence. His subjects, often self-portraits, are elevated to an iconic status yet compromised by the artist’s use of irony. Ndema places his subjects on colourful, patterned and symbolic backgrounds and his use of light suggests that his subjects are both literally and figuratively in the spotlight. Most recently he has participated in FNB Joburg Art Fair (2016); Circle Modern and Contemporary Art Auction in Nairobi (2015, 2014); Cape Town Art Fair (2015); Kampala Art Biennale (2014) and East African Encounters Exhibition, Circle Art Gallery (2014). His work is also housed in many international private collections. Ato Malinda, Kenya Ato Malinda (born 1981, Kenya), lives and works in Rotterdam. She has a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from Transart Institute, New York. Her works consist of performance, drawing, painting, installation, video, and ceramic object-making. Through her diverse practice, Malinda investigates the hybrid nature of African identity, contesting notions of authenticity. She has worked with western museums to dispel notions of a Unitarian Africa, so often seen in ethnographic exhibitions.

    N O M A D G A L L E R Y B R U S S E L S HELEN TEELE Artist Statement / Bio / CV ARTIST STATEMENT: My paintings are grounded in the idea of “staying with the trouble.”1 They open up an exploration of abject bodies and monstrous shadows that we have to learn to live with and make kin with in a time characterised by ecological and humanitarian crisis. I am neither searching for polemic truths, nor pretending that the trouble isn’t there, but rather trying to find a visual way of sitting with it and learning how to be with it. For me painting is an intersectional medium that offers a peculiar, non-binary logic which the rigidities of language and positivism preclude. It doesn’t try to make the world transparent, but rather allows it to exist in the thickness of being that makes the world worldly.2 It is the most direct way for me to explore multi-layered meanings, not-knowing and uncertainty, and of translating the ways in which the body – conflicted, gendered, cultural, political, sexual and social as it is – comes to know the world by literally being in the world, as a human body in a multi-species environment, and learning how to live with its thickness, its contrariness, its opacity, its mystery and its trouble.

EN The Landscape of African Art: Transformations at the Venice Biennale 1 The Landscape of African Art: Transformations at the Venice Biennale Dagara Dakin Translation : Phoebe Clarke “Although I try and put things into perspective, I believe that the reason I have become so spiritually foreign to my native country, while remaining preoccupied by it – while it remains a preoccupation –, is for a great part its refusal to acknowledge the existence of this skull.”1 1 The Venice Biennale, to a greater extent than any other international event, offers a summary of the current global art scene, which could opportunely be re-questioned regarding the visibility of contemporary African art. Throughout the 1990s, the scant participation of African artists in the ritual art gathering was interpreted as the sign of the Western scene’s lack of open-mindedness.
