Ngoni mounts ‘I’: A colourful, deeply personal triumph

For Ngoni, the title carries layered meaning.

“The title of the show is called I,” he said at the opening. “I as in me. My journey and a wide variety of styles and themes with which I paint. For many years, for more than 25 years, I’ve been painting a lot of abstract paintings, actually, but I haven’t shown them. So, for the first time, I’m showing every other field, every other style that I work with. So, that’s the reason why it’s called I. I, all my feelings. I, all me. I, all from inside,” he said.
