Armstrong’s debut London solo exhibition presents the artist’s most consistent and uniform body of work to date, focusing on landscapes and cityscapes of his native Los Angeles. Enhancing elements from real life, Armstrong demonstrates a composite of multiple light sources across different parts of the day to create idealised vignettes that comment on the duality of the city.

For his debut Unit London exhibition Option Nyahunzvi presents a new series of work that focuses on matters of spirituality central to his own Shona culture. The title Kwatinobva Kunoyera (Sacred Origins) draws from a Shona saying that refers to the artist’s own spiritual roots. The Shona people, hailing from Zimbabwe, are spiritual beings that revere the land they walk on, the wild and domestic animals around them and the plant life and water bodies. Inspired by this rich history, Nyahunzvi’s exhibition explores the communion between ancestral spirits and the living.

To mark the closing day of our current group exhibition Song of Songs, we invite you to watch the thought-provoking conversation between the exhibition’s Curator Rachel Thomas and Ithell Colquhoun’s biographer Richard Shillitoe.
