What we love
During his childhood, television and films informed much of Nzinga’s creative expression – from his artwork to his fashion and even aspects of his personality. Titles from popular TV programs and networks are layered throughout 5 Dollar Cigars, building up the painting similar to how they influenced Nzinga’s character. This piece also features a VW Golf Rallye, a testament to the wild journey Nzinga has taken to find his artistic calling. A mobile phone photographs the car, documenting his appreciation for the journey. The title of the work marks Nzinga’s pride in his achievements; his success has afforded him luxuries, a departure from smoking inexpensive five dollar cigars.
