Chipika Simanwe

Chipika Simanwe
Chipika Simanwe is a visual fictionist. His work tells stories that only images best describes. Stories that defy words by turning things into fantasy. He is a culture custodian who pokes fun at the very idea of curating culture. He throws jets of liquid at the viewer. As some of the paint lands on the canvas, he begins to dialogue with you, but does not seem to be talking to you, as he is yelling at you. His work provides food for thought though some of thr offering might look toxic, and taste acidic. His work has been exhibited in the USA, Spain, UK, and South Africa to mention a few. An award winning artist, he recently won best two-dimensional artist at the 2020 Zambia Vistula Arts Council Awards. “As an artist, I am sympathetic with the challenges society is currently facing and through my work I attempt to show these moments through a variety of angles that capture everyday Zambian life.”
