This piece is titled "No time to chat". It depicts a group of women throwing themselves into their work. Though Nnyanzi did not put detail on the faces, you can tell through contours and indentations that they are clearly smiling. It goes to show that you don't need eyes or mouths to express the attitude of a scene.
This piece is called "Tolerance". It represents a group of people that have clear cultural differences getting together without quarrel. It says to me that physical differences are petty, and we should all just party together with mutual tolerance.
These are a couple examples of Nnyanzi's work. On behalf
of Shabazz, we'd like to thank him for all of his time and effort he has
selflessly given us. To check out some of his other pieces, click on the
paintings to go to a couple of his own web sites.
