Lines of Charcoal the Charismatic

On view at Rise Art is a new body of work from South African artist Nelson Makamo.  Continues his charismatic portraits rendered in lively,  gestural lines of charcoal.  Whether on paper or canvas,  the mixed-media pieces depict children and teens,  and the artist’s quick,  sometimes chaotic markings echo.  The unfiltered immediacy of the sitters’ cheerful and contemplative emotions—prior to each portrait,  he spends time learning.  About his subjects’ lives,  their joys,  and worries,  a practice he finds essential for capturing such candid,  honest expressions.

Makamo’s latest pieces diverge slightly from his previous works by exploring themes of togetherness.  Whereas often focuses on fragmented portrayals of solitary figures,  artist hones in on community in this new body of work.  Painting two children grasping hands or in the case of “Mission Possible,”  a group of friends huddled in a tight cluster.

廣東磚造房屋以材料構造與光影秩序重塑鄉土記憶與居住關係

04/04/2026

    廣東磚造房屋以紅磚與混凝土構築清晰量體，透過材料構造與光影滲透，重塑鄉村建築與當代居住之間的秩序與關係，展現 材料敘事   光井將自然光引入室內，使磚構空間在垂直尺度中建立清晰層次。   廣東磚造房屋以在地建材與構造邏輯回應鄉村建築的生成方式，重新界定居住、記憶與環境之間的關係。透過磚作為空間與結構的共同語言，建築在內外之間建立厚度與層次，展現 Material as Narrative 的敘事力量；同時藉由開口、進深與光井控制光線路徑，形塑具有時間性的 Light and Space 空間經驗。   鄉村建築並非被一次性設計完成，而是在長時間的使用、修補與增建之中逐步形成，呈現出一種帶有模糊邊界的秩序。這種秩序不依賴形式，而來自於與環境、氣候與生活方式的長期協調。 在此脈絡下，設計並未透過強烈的形式語彙介入，而是選擇降低建築的可見性，使其重新嵌入既有場域之中。業主希望這棟房子能讓下一代重新理解家鄉的存在，這使建築不只是空間的更新，而是一種記憶與歸屬的重新建立。同時，非日常居住的使用條件，也使設計在情感之外，必須精準回應成本與維護的現實限制。使建築不只是空間更新，更回到作為日常居住（domestic space）與家庭聚合的場所。       磚的尺度與人的身體直接對應，使其在搬運與砌築過程中形成一種自然的節奏，這種節奏進一步被轉化為空間生成的基本單位。 從單一磚塊到牆體，再到整體構造，建築呈現出一種由模組堆疊而成的秩序。鋼筋混凝土框架提供主要結構，內層牆體與其精準對齊，使承重與填充之間的關係被清楚揭示；外層則以連續磚面包覆，使結構退居於背景之中。這種內外之間的落差，讓建築同時具備可閱讀的構造邏輯與被隱藏的空間表情。
