(Pic: work by Richard Hart)Currently running at the KZNSA Gallery is Lingua Franca, an exhibition by Richard Hart.
Richard Hart's career as a graphic designer has been a 20-year love affair with letterforms, words, text and language. Lingua Franca takes this relationship into a gallery context and allows Hart to unhitch his craft from the imperatives of graphic design.
Freed from the need to communicate to a mass audience, Hart's work engages intimately, using materials and techniques far removed from the traditional media associated with graphic design. Lingua Franca uses sculpture, assemblage, drawing, painting, photography and installation to create a world of words that is by turns emotive, poignant, funny, provocative, clever, silly and absurd.
Lingua Franca runs at the KZNSA until it closes at noon on September 5. The KZNSA Gallery is situated at 166 Bulwer Road, Glenwood, in Durban. More information on 031 277 1703, fax 031 201 8051 or cell 082 220 0368 or visit www.kznsagallery.co.za
