Beeld 1 / 2   'The Kiss' | 2012 | oil on canvas | 200 x 200 cm

Admire Kamudzengerere paints as if he were playing chess – from the inside out. He works, however, in a quite deliberate manner, consciously employing both traditional and innovative techniques, in response to the actual realities he is faced with both in Zimbabwe and in his current residency in the Netherlands. In retrospect, his conscience is the undisputed opponent – a project manager who creatively mirrors his moves, moving into a life of its own. This battle on canvas becomes the springboard that frees his imagination, creating many opportunities for happy accidents and gracing the finished product with its influence.
