Ngqinambi
Cape Town-based Ndikhumbule Ngqinambi is a painter and multimedia artist. He has won numerous international awards and artist’s residencies at Djerassi in California, Thami Mnyele in Amsterdam, Sacater in Brazil, Akademie Schloss Solitude in Germany, and IESPIS in Malmo, Sweden. He has collaborated with dancers, performing artists and musicians, exploring the genesis of his paintings through movement and sound. He is represented by Barnard Gallery in Newlands, Cape Town.
A highly personal work, created early on in Ndikhumbule Ngqinambi’s internationally acclaimed career, Walk of Numbers expresses something truly universal – the human journey. Seemingly without beginning or end, it gives one a sense of continuity and repeated endeavour.
According to Ndikhumbule, the artwork references counting – from physical steps taken to the people, experiences, challenges and milestones in his own life en route to his future.
Walk of Numbers was the first piece selected for a unique collaboration between Sanlam Private Wealth and a new generation of artists.
