(Yvette Dunn “Painted Portrait Green”)The KZNSA’s Mezzanine Gallery currently has an exhibition titled Drowning in colour by Yvette Dunn which features acrylics on canvas, a public art performance and videography installation.
Dunn reflects on her life and heritage as inspiration. She uses her body as the canvas and a point of departure into the creation of her work - be it a painting or recording herself as her alter ego “Shero”. Dunn will swim in a pool of five colours of paint and then wipe the residue on canvas, which will be hung up for sale. Audiences will be able to purchase Polaroids of themselves photographed with the performer.
Drowning in Colour runs until May 7. 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
