INSPIRATION 2

The first Inspiration exhibition held at artSPACE durban found a group of KwaZulu-Natal-based artists meeting at the Durban Art Gallery Archives with the formidable task to find the one artwork that was most inspirational to each of them.

“For Inspiration 2, we would like the invited artists to find inspiration from their surrounding environment, i.e. Durban and its surrounds,” says artSPACE owner, Karen Bradtke.

A group of KwaZulu-Natal-based artists met on a bus tour with Street Scene Tours to take the group around to Kenneth Stainbank Nature Reserve, Chatsworth, to look at the Silverglen Nursery and Temple of Understanding with lunch at the renowned vegetarian restaurant underneath the temple on November 23.

There were no restrictions as to the interpretations and a text by each artist accompanys the artworks in the gallery space.

Participating artists are Caroline Birch, Jane Oliver, Di van Wyk, Grace Kotze, Coral Spencer, Nomsa Ngidi, Mandy Kok, Mbhekeni Derek Mbili, Nicole Pletts, Trui Roozenveld van der Ven, Scott Bredin, Jeannie Kinsler, Pascale Chandler, Floris van Zyl, Jackie Freer, Julie Mayo, John Roome, Nirmi Ziegler, Louise Jennings, Celeste Bredin, Marianne Meijer, and Andrew Verster.
