PAINTINGS...










Beyond Synergy is an original body of work.  Its an extension of my previous exhibition titled “Lines of Power” which exhibited in the National Arts Festival in 2010 and consequently 13 paintings went on to be selected to exhibit in Rossouw Modern Gallery (Cape Town- www.art10.co.za), where they are part of a group exhibitions.
Beyond Synergy explores universal energies that connect us as humans with nature and other creation. A symbolic approach towards different natural elements such as sky, lightning, water, ground and fire was used as mediators towards something universal and bigger than us.

Mockery- Godz n Monsterz



Zang, Sullivan Gill, Family Matters, beat by Myth. Our trip to the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown 2009 with Walter Sisulu University. Special appearance is Aidon Westcott http://www.aidonwestcott.co.za/

Enjoying art for arts and community development.

Godz n Monsters are a crew born and hustled in them streets of Mdantsane. A crew of different creative minds embracing some elements of hip hop culture such as Emceeing, Producing and Graffiti. The whole East London crowd knows of these lyrical raw materials with a kasi Xhosalized English content.


Under the name of Rabbit Outda Hat (RODH) a production company was born. Where sacred diabolic grimy dungeon beats with a bit of kasi melancholy and nostalgic tragic vibe were used as pages of their dairies. Politics, social issues, witchcraft, literature, art, philosophy and science played a role as subject matter for verses. Cats are now doing their own businesses you can follow them on Facebook.

Enjoy COUCHLOCKPROJECTS…








Reflecting on Lines of Power















Electric power lines have been explored as a metaphor for psychological boundaries; exploring a tension between those who have and who have no electricity. Nkosinkulu incorporates new techniques such as mixing of cement with wood glue and burn the canvas with a blow torch to create textured surfaces. Torn pieces of maps of Mdantsane are collaged and various strings have been burnt on top of waxed surfaces. These processes are complimented with oils and form a body of work that encourages soul searching.

 Nkosinkulu’s art has now developed into video installation art exploring themes of transcendence and immersion. His work incorporates water as a symbol of mediator to help us navigate through the quest of self discovery. His new work is in progress...

Couchlock Designs











Some few designs I’m working on for t-shirts and logos. The design at Cochlock is based on elements of hip hop culture and they represent the hustle in the streets of Mdantsane.
