The talented Kenyan artist Cyrus Kabiru brings his remarkable creations to Cape Town for his first South African solo exhibition.

Kabiru’s C-Stunners & Black Mamba is being exhibited at SMAC Art Gallery in Woodstock, and will run through to 14th of March, 2015.

The self-taught sculptor and painter is known for his work which embodies his role as a “collector” of Nairobi cast-offs – refashioning recycled and found materials.

Kabiru’s C-Stunners captures the sensibility and attitude of Nairobi’s youth generation through artistic bifocals. The work sits between fashion, wearable art, performance and one-of-a-kind commodity objects that portray the aspiration of popular culture ‘bling’ – reflecting the ingenuity and resourcefulness of people and the lenses provide a new filter giving a fresh perspective that transforms the wearer in appearance but also in mind frame.

This exhibition also combines, for the first time, Kabiru’s C-Stunners with his Black Mambas that are fixed gear bicycles, which have achieved an iconic status in Kenya as an affordable and popular method of transport for the Kenyan population.
