South London Gallery: Between Wood and Wheel
Discover the radiant, textured paintings of Christina Kimeze at the South London Gallery (SLG), at her first solo exhibition in the UK.
Between Wood and Wheel brings together a new series of paintings and works on paper. 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).
The exhibition is free and spans both SLG sites. In the Fire Station, visitors and families are invited to use the art materials provided to create their own art works!
The SLG is free to visit and open Wednesday, 12pm-9pm and Thursday - Sunday, 12-6pm. Find them at 65–67 and 82 Peckham Road, SE5 8UH.
