Brown Ochre — Split Lip Magazine

“Brown Ochre” by Nkosi Ndlovu.
Digital collage, 2021.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, Nkosi Ndlovu (@gldeng6rl) began her journey as an artist by painting but has since explored other avenues such as graphic design, photography, and finally digital collage. Whilst not formally educated in the arts, throughout her journey she has grown and developed a style that features and highlights black bodies, particularly black women in surreal scenes of tranquility and peace. She draws her inspirations from themes of surrealism and dadaism as well as contemporary influences of modernism and afrocentrism.
