01 / THE EXHIBITION

Three artists.
Three visions.
One exhibition.

CHROMA brings together Edwin Maina (Kenya), Sanjo Lawal (Nigeria) and Ed Suter (South Africa) in an exhibition celebrating distinct approaches to contemporary African photography.

At the centre of CHROMA is the human figure. Through colour, composition and constructed portraiture, each photographer explores identity, culture and self-expression in a visual language entirely their own.

Rather than presenting a single perspective, the exhibition brings three independent practices into conversation, reflecting the diversity and evolving possibilities of image-making across the continent.

02 / THE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Meet the artists.

Three practices connected by a fascination with colour, portraiture and the ways we present ourselves to the world.

01

Edwin Maina

NAIROBI, KENYA

Moving between fashion and fine art, Maina builds expressive portraits through styling, gesture and collaborative image-making.

02

Lawal’s carefully staged portraiture uses adornment, symbolism and bold visual structures to examine identity and self-representation.

03

Ed Suter

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

Suter’s photographs are animated by colour, style and individuality, drawing on the rich visual energy of South African culture.

COLOUR / CULTURE / IDENTITY

Colour becomes a language for who we are and how we choose to be seen.
