South London abstract artist Courtenay Kusitor opens her first solo exhibition, Unconscious / Conscious / Aligned, at Herne Hill’s Grade II listed Carnegie Library this month, bringing together three years of work shaped by her recovery from a near-fatal accident.

Kusitor was told she was lucky to be alive after suffering a spinal injury during a winter storm on Camberwell New Road. The accident marked a turning point, and the paintings in the show reflect her deepening engagement with consciousness, awareness and resilience.
Working in an expressive abstract style, she uses colour and gesture to explore presence and perception.

The exhibition also features a selection of books that helped shape the work, offering an insight into the thinking behind the series.

Rather than showing in a traditional gallery, Kusitor chose her local library to reflect the role community and learning have played in her recovery. Brixton Buzz first met Courtenay last year at the Dulwich Festival Open House, where she was exhibiting alongside other South London artists.
