Description

Cassi Namoda. Godfather. 18" x 14", Archival pigment print. Signed edition of 50. $250. Cassi Namoda was born in Maputo, Mozambique to an American father and a Mozambican mother, and then raised in cities across Africa, Haiti, and in the United States. Her paintings reflect this nomadic upbringing, as well as the near-constant mobility of her adult years. Painting is but one part of a catholic cultural sensibility—one also informed by cinema, fashion, and literature. Her studio practice is unanchored from the studio itself; she paints on the move: on the road, in hotels and Airbnbs.
