I
n this exhibition we invited each artist to explore the idea of story-telling, explaining a narrative, through visual mediums. Each artist we invited has a unique and individual style which we feel is open to the possibility of the narrative. Whether the ‘story’ is distinct or of an abstract nature, this exhibition is open to all kinds of interpretations: drawings, illustrations, artists’ books, sculptures etc. Illustration is a known medium used for storytelling, understood as merely a depiction of an idea. However, through time it has been looked at with more sensitivity allowing the image-making process to be interpreted with more nuance and complexity.
Featured Artists include; Katja Abbott, Audrey Anderson, Bruce Backhouse, Neil Badenhorst, Maaike Bakker, Collin Cole, Kevin Collins, Karin Daymond, Maggie de Vos, Kaelik Dullaart, Bronwen Findley, Carmen Ford, David Griessel, Phila Hillie, Jenifer Hull, Diana Hyslop, Sanele Jali, Kobie Nieuwoudt, Maria Lebedeva, Balekane Legoabe, Bruce Mackay, Shenaz Mahomed, Malebona Maphutse, Collen Maswanganyi, Abe Mathabe, Sean McMahon, Ilse Nieman, Kobie Niewoudt, Buhle Nkalashe, Kyra Papé, Fiona Pole, Gregg Price, Linda Rademan, Kagiso Reuben, Nina Torr, Adele van Heerden, Imile Wepener, Zhi Zulu
The exhibition will run for the duration of November, December 2021, January and February 2022.
