Christina Kimeze: Between Wood and Wheel

Christina Kimeze’s vibrant “Between Wood and Wheel” exhibition explores freedom, flight, and escape through stunning, textured paintings inspired by roller skating! At South London Gallery until 11th May. Visit: https://www.southlondongallery.org/exhibitions/christina-kimeze/

Her works, including the captivating “Between Wood and Wheel” (2024), depict Black women in motion, surrounded by lush foliage and energetic marks that evoke the rhythm and joy of skating. Kimeze’s semi-abstract figures capture peaceful solitude and collective connection, with influences from Black-led skate cultures, feminist mythology, and her Ugandan heritage. Her layered, colorful compositions invite viewers into emotional spaces, reflecting the power of imagination and the transformative possibilities within Black communities.
