Christine Jacobs’ solo exhibition, Enfold, features the artist’s most substantial series of felt sculpture and charcoal drawings to date. The body of work arises from a richly intuitive interaction with the landscape surrounding the Merino sheep farm belonging to the artist’s family in South Africa’s Free State province. The undulating sculptures and gestural abstract drawings foreground the symbiotic interchange between the land and its inhabitants, recording the physical and non-physical traces of change and exchange between them.
Terence Maluleke: Grace in Grand Bassam
Terence Maluleke’s solo presentation, Grace in Grand Bassam, features a series of paintings that emerged from the artist’s month-long residency at La Fourchette de Rōze in the coastal town on the outskirts of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Each of the works present as vibrant stills, frames of vivid motion and colour. Born in Soweto and based in Johannesburg, Maluleke came to painting having established himself as an accomplished visual developer for Walt Disney Animation Studios, Netflix and Triggerfish.
Nano Le Face: Honey, I’m Not Doing So Well
Nano Le Face’s solo presentation, Honey, I’m Not Doing So Well, welcomes viewers into the artist’s expansive world, stitched together through an immensity of snapshot-like vignettes that document the lustre, social media obsession, melodrama and melancholy of contemporary youth culture. The new large-scale drawings in coloured pencil and wax crayon were produced during Nano’s two-month stay at the GUILD Residency earlier this year.
Join us for a walkabout with artist Jesse Ede
Saturday, 14 October, 11AM
Southern Guild, Silo 5, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
Jesse Ede will take visitors through the complex making of his current solo exhibition, Of Space and Time. This new series of large-scale sculptural forms is the result of eight years of innovative refinement of his technical processes. The Cape Town-based artist’s work is a poetic contemplation of our place in the universe and a deep engagement with the materiality of stone and metal.
