Art Piece: “Future’s Gaze”
A Paradox of Progress and Parity
Nisty Chatha is an artist whose work explores the concept of collective identity and the interconnectedness of human beings. His art delves into the idea that when people work together as a collective, they can make the world a better place.
In his paintings, Nisty often depicts multiple figures within a single body, representing the idea that we are not singular entities but rather part of a larger collective. These figures are on a journey to elevate themselves financially, physically, and emotionally, hiking towards the highest part of the body -the mind – which represents validation and acceptance.
Nisty’s work challenges our role within society and poses the question: Why are we here? His paintings are a model of our collective human experience, encouraging us to keep hiking and striving for a better world.
Nisty’s art has been featured in several exhibitions, including the Joburg Open Studios in 2022 and 2023, and the LAE Group Exhibitions “Hierarchy of Being” in 2023, “LA FEMME” in 2021, and “Lockdown” in 2020.
