Do check out Leah & Michelle’s upcoming exhibition… Repost from @leahrolando • I’m excited to announce that my talented studio mate and I have teamed up for a group exhibition titled A Colour Kinship. Michelle van Reenen is a painter who, like myself, has a love for colour. While our mediums differ, we’ve come together to curate an exhibition that showcases a selection of works from our studio. My work is a selection of abstract photographs exploring colour, light, and shadow—each composition carefully constructed using Perspex panels and hand-built sets. Michelle’s paintings, inspired by memory and place, transform landscapes into textured, expressive ‘memoryscapes.’ Together, our works speak in different visual languages but share a connection through colour. We’d love for you to join us for the opening at Lakeside Provisions (64 Main Road, Kalk Bay) on March 20th from 6 PM. Expect a vibrant evening with music, bao buns, and wine provided by Dawn Patrol Wines—plus, it’s BYOB! Hope to see you there!

Repost from @nicolettegeldenhuys • There are so many aspects to us, I am an artist, a mother, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sister…all these things present themselves with their own joys and difficulties, wonder and pain. I am trying to make sense of all these things through my art practice, which in this exploration will look different sometimes, be dark sometimes, colourful other times, be successful or a bit of a flop. Navigating these ups and downs are part of being an artist. As Rick Rubin says:”It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it. That’s like saying I’m not good at being a monk. You are either living as a monk or you’re not.” We tend to think of the work of the artist as the output. The real work of the artist is a way of being in the world” These 6 framed works are available individually or as a set. Dm for price. #nicolettegeldenhuysart #openstudioskommetjie #southafricanartist🇿🇦 #painting #artpractice

Repost from @kristenmcclarty_art • I can fly under water. I’m busy with a deep dive, searching through my source photos, taken over four years, to find elements of self that would mark my existence but remain abstract. Really, I’m looking for something the ties a thread between work already created, for an upcoming exhibition that will lean into the materiality of process and form. I’m hoping that when you see the coming together of diverse art practices in one space, you’ll have a moment. You’ll be in a different space. Somewhere that your mind has logged and recorded and filed for later. #southafricanprintmaking #kristenmcclarty #printmaker #woodblock #woodblockprintmaking #woodcut #theprintinggirls #kristenmcclartyart #headunderwater #reprint
