Odili Donald Odita at STEVENSON in Cape Town

Stevenson presents an exhibition of six new paintings by Odili Donald Odita.
In an interview from 2011, the artist uses a countryside stream as a metaphor for his approach to painting:

'During the summer of 2009 I was in Williamstown, MA, and spent some time on a farm by a rolling stream watching the water undulate and move over a rock-bed beneath it. For me this rock-bed, like a drawing, was structure and armature. Additionally, the water was like colour, moving this way and that in a flow based not only on the structure of the rock-bed beneath it, but also on its own condition of what it was, as well as what it could become with other forces such as the wind and sun that beat down on it.'
