Elaine Barnard’s “Kimono for an African Geisha”
Kimonos Unlimited is a dramatically colourful and exquisitely-executed interpretive exhibition of the traditional Japanese garment running at Artisan Contemporary Gallery.
Featuring selected works by the 50-member Fibreworks art group – including that of several of its internationally-renowned artists – the exhibition challenges the definition of the centuries-old Kimono.
“Fibreworks encourages its members to investigate both the technical and conceptual aspects of any subject matter by inviting its artists to explore and expand art forms in almost unlimited ways”, said Artisan curator, Sue Greenberg. “Their re-definition of the subject matter challenges one’s idea of the Kimono in ways that are quite remarkable - and inspirational”, she added.
Kimonos Unlimited runs through to the end of September. Artisan Contemporary Gallery is situated at 344 Florida Road. More information on 031 312 4364 or 083 301 5747, email: info@artisan.co.za or visit www.artisan.co.za
