| Changing Faces: Profiling Portraits.Changing Faces: Profiling Portraits in South African Art showcases examples of the genre from selected emerging and established South African artists. Reflecting on the changing face of portraiture within a South African context, the exhibition will showcase both earlier examples of the genre by selected South African masters, as well as more recent initiatives by artists exploring the subject from a contemporary viewpoint. The exhibition intends to map something of the altering attitude towards the notion of the portrait and to provide the viewer with a sense of this shift in perspective. The exhibition will include amongst others works by Gerard Sekoto, Maggie Laubser, George Pemba, Robert Hodgins, Anton Momberg, Marlene Dumas, Joni Brenner, Roelof van Wyk. Changing Faces: Profiling Portraits in South African Art opens May 23, 2013 |

Although no stranger for consideration to the selection process for this prestigious award, with a top 100 placement for last years award, with his mixed media piece entitled “Sacrifice; My Mother’s Dress", this years entry into the top ten is worthy of special acclamation.
The artwork in question, “Endangered”, as oil on canvas, finished with Perspex, is a multilayered work, in terms of image, process and content, and primarily asks questions about the issues around the notion of the sustainability and validity of traditional painting as a visual language in contemporary culture. The process combines a traditional representational layered painting technique with the protective layer of industrial material, which re-contextualizes and draws parallels between wild-life conservation and painting, as process and craftsmanship.
For the past year The Barnard Gallery hasbeen in consultation with Jaco van Schalkwyk regarding collaborating on a solo exhibition. Now, as one o... [ Read all ] |
