Gareth Nyandoro
Gareth Nyandoro is noted for his large works on paper, which often spill out of their two-dimensional format and into installations that include paper scraps and objects found in the markets of Harare, where he lives and works. The artist’s chief source of inspiration is the daily landscape of the city and its residents, both within the local milieu and the larger cultural panorama of Zimbabwe. Inspired by his training as a printmaker, and derived from etching, the artist’s distinctive technique, Kucheka cheka, is named after the infinitive and present tense declinations of the Shona verb cheka, which means ‘to cut’.
He has exhibited at institutions such as Palais de Tokyo, Quetzal Art Centre, Rijksakademie, and Zeitz MOCAA, among others.
His work is part of collections such as MoMA New York, Zeitz MOCAA, Fondation Sindika Dokolo, Instituto Inhotim, and the National Gallery of Zimbabwe.
