Simão
Zmbu
The eye travels through Simão Zmbu’s paintings. Sweeping curves meet angular divisions, and overlapping forms offer several places to begin. A shape catches attention; another draws it onward. Looking becomes a gradual exploration of the canvas.

The Narrative
The eye travels through Simão Zmbu’s paintings. Sweeping curves meet angular divisions, and overlapping forms offer several places to begin. A shape catches attention; another draws it onward. Looking becomes a gradual exploration of the canvas. Zmbu draws inspiration from daily life, dreams and imagination, developing artistic knowledge learned within his family. He is an artist and refugee from Congo. These are parts of his biography; the meaning of each composition remains open to the viewer. Layered brushwork gives the work a physical presence. It rewards a viewer willing to stay with its movement and let details emerge in their own time.
