Huge thanks to everyone who came out to the opening of my debut solo show last night. The moments, thoughts & conversations shared around the work last night will stay with us forever. To my immediate family/future family & in-laws and my amazing future wife Nicole for setting an incredible atmosphere, I love you, thank you for everything. To those who played a role and contributed to this body of work, it was a privilege being able to collaborate with you, @amielindiwe , @ashleybwalters , @kirstenmackrill , @andrewjuries , Greatmore Studios & the AVA Gallery team, thank you. #ConcerningAlchemy ft. #ColouredPhotoAlbum is dedicated to those who have gone before me and those who will come after me...

âA Brief Historyâ
2015
Mixed Media InstallationÂ
Featured in "But he doesnât have anything on!â group exhibition @ Commune.1 Gallery in Cape town. All Images by Commune.1.
Gallery Text: 'A Brief History (of Colourman)â (2015) is a fantastical and imaginary installation created as a memorial to Rory Emmettâs constructed avatar, âColourmanâ. This assembled museum display is made up of painted canvas and found images, from the artistâs own archive or thrift shops, in which Emmett has inserted his painted avatar. The installation aims to question the limited idea of âcoming-of-ageâ and is part of the artistâs ongoing attempt to define the ever-changing self in light of oppressive constructs, labels and descriptions. Drawing on personal, collective and art historical references, Emmett approaches painting as a means of viewing past and present landscapes and presents identities as constantly in motion. While Colourmanâs skin belies his ânakednessâ, his âColourednessâ also works as a type of mask. Thick colourful blobs of paint form his skin, much like patterned clothing.
