Mandalas and sunflowers

About Nikodemis

Nikodemis van Rensburg

Nikodemis (Niko van Rensburg) was born 23 September 1967 in Hillbrow, Jo'burg. Brought up by his creative parents, artist dad (Nico van Rensburg) and inspiring mom Annetjie.

Nikodemis's art is about breathing: in-spiring and exhaling love and color akin to channeling energy. It also manifests in eco sculpture, combining found materials and discarded exotics.

He paints and sculpts free, abstract forms or 'afro-zen' in 2d and 3d, and more figurative 'afro-pop forms: African contemporary art with some spiritual jesting and an open heart.

Elephants on giant size canvases will take angels on their backs on safari through traditional colonial bushveld settings, painted in vivid rainbow nation colors. Or a waste piece of plastic drives itself into an old uprooted tree like and arm, with discarded spark plugs the fingers holding air plants like jewelry drapes in its palm.

His art combines postcard wildlife art and Sunday painting with serious Dadaistic humor and shamanistic visions of divine creation. A Zen buddhist touch builds on flat areas of Fauvist color, whilst quantum physics manifest in the loose brushstrokes of his action painting style or free flow where he just lets the medium go.

I don't choose color, color chooses me, he says about the color splashed desert scenes. Even black and white paintings, with angels practically carved from pigment, clay-like modeled in brushstrokes, sport the brilliance of primaries and secondary's shining through from underneath. The zany plastic waste colors do the same in the sculptural forms.

Nikodemi's art is about the moment, art that captures the energy of Africa, its textures and textiles, its incomparable beauty and its anarchic amounts of waste. His art is from and of humanity's birth place, our cradle and home. And it is itself, nothing else. No meaning, just making something beautiful from nothing, and letting its new form melt it back into no-thingness as it rusts and rots away, transforming and changing. Living. Life itself.

Nikodemis finds inspiration within, from where he humbly learns about life from nature and his wife, three children, two dogs, 2 horses, and farming nature's way. He runs a home school / learning center with his life partner, does project managing construction work, writes children's educational books and dabbles in music programming. He also does art workshops, e.g. skills training and product oriented outcomes art using waste materials.

He practices color meditation and no-thingness.

He lives in The Valley Of A Thousand Hills in Kwazulu-Natal. His other homes are The Wild Coast and Magaliesberg Mountains.
