Christina Kimeze: Between Wood and Wheel

Christina Kimeze,South London Gallery

Between Wood and Wheel brings together a new series of paintings and works on paper by Christina Kimeze. Originally inspired by the resurgence of roller skating in Black communities, the series explores ideas of freedom, flight and escape, particularly from a female perspective.

Kimeze sets her figures against dreamlike landscapes and mysterious interiors. She depicts ungraspable, in-between spaces and, in her own words, ‘the idea of existing between two emotional spaces and the feelings of “otherness” that can arise from this space’. Her work invites us to reflect on the shifting nature of our relationship to our inner lives and how thoughts, feelings and memories might be visualised.

The exhibition also includes a newly commissioned tapestry, made in collaboration with Dovecot Studios, based on Kimeze’s painting Blue Doorway (2024).
