Night Flowers - Fynbos and other flowers of Western Cape

“What I really enjoy about Robert Nzaou Kissolo’s work - his explorations of hair, water and now plants - is that his keen interest in behaviour and personality is presented so gently and at the same time so stirringly. When he turns his curious, sensitive and loving eye onto things he does so in a visually satisfying way. His photographs are usually beautiful. Then, while one gazes with pleasure at the beauty he offers up, the subject matter starts to flower in one’s mind and heart and the social statement Nzoau is expressing begins to make its case. His own deep questions about who we are and why we do the things we do reverberate within the beholder of his work. We get to know our own selves more through our reactions to what he is displaying. These are inner conversations I love to have and I appreciate Nzaou‘s ability to catalyst them through his respectful and beautiful treatment of the objects in his photographs.”
