Some Clarity of Vision

Some Clarity of Vision was a solo exhibition of new and recent painting and drawing following a two-month residency at Gallery MOMO in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2015.

From the Gallery MOMO press release:

“Black goddesses, heroines, queens and saints have been the inspiration for many of Kimathi Donkor's paintings. And, after researching how these subjects have been depicted in literature and art, he invited contemporary, black women from Africa and its Diasporas to model for scenes that re-imagine the adventures, encounters and spirit of their celebrated forebears.”

Work created during the residency has been exhibited internationally, including at at the Goethe Institute in Johannesburg, the Diaspora Pavilion for the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017.
