Okello Orege Art is pleased to PRESENT
Synonymous Subjects
An online presentation of recent works by Brian Kimani and Mark Maganga.
The two artists, through different means but to the same effect, address the relationship between our temporal reality- that time is finite- and how we engage with it through the routine acts we perform everyday. With an intimate urgency, Synonymous Subjects investigates the underpinnings of quotidian life.
Both Brian Kimani and Mark Maganga recognise the contemporary artist as a cultural nomad, moving between peoples and places, constantly redirecting, reformulating, and reinforcing their worldview. Like the cacophony of sights, smells, and sounds that exist within these urban landscapes, the artist must continuously shift and shape to a similar sensorial degree, in order to capture in real-time the creation of the new. Thus, between maker and viewer lies a deep responsibility of coexistence. The reminder that each action is not done in isolation but co-created with, and contributed to, by authors of the same reality, in a process of shared ownership.
