About The Artwork
backstory: one of a number of photographic memorials from beach evenings spent with a special family in Israel who gave me a glimpse of the magic of family and community life. -— title: Sironit Beach, Netanya: prelude no. 646 (2016). edition: limited edition of 10 + 2AP, numbered and signed by the artist. medium: Giclée print on archival fine art cotton paper. paper size: 594mm x 841mm (A1). image size: 513mm x 770mm. —- project details: in my series, ‘Preludes’, I revisit old photographs taken during the formative decades of my practice when I wrestled to find and express my aesthetic vision as an artist. inspired by the colours and line work of the post-impressionists, the fauvists, and the master printmakers of the ukiyo-e world, for years I have laboured – with the help of countless fortuitous failures, of course – to give voice to a style that straddles the boundary between photography and the painterly arts. alongside my ongoing study entitled ‘Light Written’, these revisions are the culmination of that process. even so, the graphic texture of my finished works is the result of reiterative adjustments made to the colour, sharpening and noise details of each photograph and has not arisen from the application of any substantive image-manipulation. my methods then, when reduced to their essence, can basically be summed up as tracing and colouring my photographs in. in this sense, one could well conclude that I am simply a photographer who wanted to be a painter or a printmaker in life, much like the photorealists of yore might cheekily be called artists who wanted to be photographers in their praxis of the craft.

South Africa
a poet by first love, Kambani Ramano creates art – with words and with photographs – to celebrate beauty in the light of the human spirit and wonder in the heart of the world. of Venda and Nsenga descent (that is, of South African & Zambian parentage), Kambani took his first breaths in Johannesburg in the late eighties at the height of the apartheid crisis, a transition point in the country where many of the nation’s ossified boundaries were being profoundly ruptured and redrawn. it was in this context that his formative years played out: on the threshold of convergent cultures, social structures, and times—in liminal spaces where diverse modes and moments intersected – sometimes joyfully; sometimes less so – with one another. a foreigner to his native tongues and often an alien in many of the spaces he has found himself, Kambani has been very much a hybrid of the old world and the new. as such, this backdrop has saturated the colours of his artistic practice and has given almost graphic expression to his body of work, which, since the day he acquired his first SLR camera on a whim at age sixteen, has grown into an ongoing of exploration of the art of photography, and of photography as art.
