Njalikwa Chongwe ceramic artist.

|
Njalikwa Chongwe is a ceramic artist based in South Fremantle Western Australia.
His studio Zinongo sits above the Indian Ocean and which provides a strong influence on his work. This coastal influence flows through his work and is fused with themes drawn from his African heritage.
His pieces display striking colours and tactile tones prevalent in these two influences. To convey this he embraces techniques found in traditional Asian Ceramics ( Japanese Rakuware and high fired Chinese stoneware) as well as practices used by traditional African potters. The result is the creation of ceramics born from the convergence of many cultures..... ''a melting pot ''.
