Simultaneous Exhibitions: ‘Africa Re-Imagined: A Six Year Exploration’ by Geoff Weedon & ‘Intimacy of Things’ by Olivia Pendergast, May 28 – Jun. 19 2022 @ One Off Contemporary Gallery

by with No Comment art exhibitsevents

One Off is delighted to present Geoff Weedon’s first solo show in Kenya; ‘Africa Re-Imagined’. Weedon first visited Africa six years ago and the impact of the wildlife and its people is clear because he has painted little else since, returning again and again for inspiration and reference. This show is a reflection of six years playful exploration which has expressed itself in different styles and formed distinct series, two of which are displayed in this exhibition. 

Meanwhile, opening simultaneously is ‘Intimacy of things’, an exhibition of oil paintings by one of our most popular artists, Olivia Pendergast.  In her latest works, Pendergast places her subjects in their places of work, surrounded by the objects which are of significance in their lives.  In each painting, Pendergast uses hands, rather than eyes as her tool of expression, along with her signature re-applied pencil lines.  The show marks a shift in direction for the artist which will delight her audience.

About
One Off is delighted to feature Thom Ogonga’s ‘Village Gentrification’, a collection of mainly black and white prints, in its main exhibition space through October 2019.

Thom says of his work ‘I am interested in the daily happenings around the space I live in and even more fascinated by the nocturnal activities. All the things that color the night; bar brawls, disco scenes, gambling, prostitution etc. excite the artist in me and feature prominently in my artistic practice’.

An accompanying exhibition of prints by a selection of other artists working in Nairobi will be shown in our additional space at #16 Rosslyn Lone Tree.

This show is curated by Thom Ogonga.

Exhibition: Handmade Painting by Lisa Milroy, April 7-29 2018 @ One Off Contemporary Gallery

by with No Comment art exhibits


Opening date: Saturday, April 7, 2018
Venue: One Off Contemporary Gallery
Time: Noon – 5 pm

Until April 29, 2018

About
Lisa Milroy is fascinated by material transformation and how one substance turns into another, whether it’s fabric into clothing, ink into words, clay into ceramics, or pigments into paintings. Milroy is also interested in imaginative transformation – how a painting turns into an experience that can touch or move the viewer.

Handmade: Paintings by Lisa Milroy brings together a selection of Milroy’s work from the past ten years to explore the subject of ‘looking and making’ and transformation. The paintings in the exhibition focus on the relation between the hand and eye, and the interplay between thinking, feeling and making. The exhibition features a range of work that reflects the diversity of Milroy’s approach to painting, including oil on canvas, interactive paintings and 3-D paintings.

One Off Gallery proudly presents Timothy Brooke’s latest exhibition of oil paintings titled ‘The city, the mountain and further North’.

Opening: October 29, 2016
Venue: One Off Contemporary Gallery
Time: noon – 5 pm

The exhibition runs until: November 22, 2016

About
The show comprises some of Brooke’s classic subjects of cattle with dust, Mt Kenya and tribal women. He also depicts Aloes, low water in a river and Pelicans; a show stopper of a painting and something of a departure for the artist. Brooke’s famous economy of line becomes more and more prevalent.

Don’t miss Brooke’s spectacular rendition of our ‘vanishing Kenya’.
