About The Artwork
backstory: one of the ways I tried to recover from the unprecedented isolation that the COVID-19 lockdowns imposed upon much of the global community was getting out of my little studio apartment to hike some of the peaks of the Cape Fold Mountain Range. in breathtaking contrast to the walls and restrictions that had drastically limited movement during the first few phases of the pandemic, the mountains offered views of almost-limitless vistas. looking out over the iconic Chapman’s Peak Drive, this snapshot is one of the meditations on the natural world that I captured during that time. -— title: view from Chapman’s Peak Hiking Trail, no. 34 (2021). edition: limited edition of 30 + 2AP, numbered and signed by the artist. medium: Giclée print on archival fine art cotton paper. paper size: 420mm x 594mm (A2). image size: 363mm x 545mm. —- project details: started after I returned to Cape Town at the close of 2018, ‘Light Written’ – or ‘Phōtos Graphōs’ – is an ongoing exploration of the art of photography, and of photography as art. initially captured on mountain walks and seaside strolls around the city, the work asks – in impressionistic, Fauve-esque tones; and with an aesthetic nod to the ukiyo-e print masters of the Edo period – where the boundaries of the photograph end and those of the painterly disciplines begin? more essentially, however, the series is simply a celebration of the sublime world that surrounds us and is magnificently written in light.

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.
