THENJIWE NIKI NKOSI, ROUTINE, 2019 Oil on canvas. 35 7/8 x 39 3/8 x 1 7/8 in. Series: Gymnasium
I am very interested in how artists engage, represent and work with the structural and formal dimensions of a sport.
Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi’s Gymnasium series does just this. As is typical for Nkosi’s work, the canvas is clean, tight. It feels composed but also like a space meant for bodies and movement and, here, judgement.
So pleased to have happened on a tweet from art critic Rianna Jade Parker, in which she shared an image from this series.
