Opening this evening at artSPACEdurban is
an exhibition by Janine Holloway titled Heart
and Soul.
Holloway presents a group of paintings of
the Heart. In it, she has used a broad range of painting techniques and
processes to explore and reveal different aspects relating to the Heart.
There are the physiological facts of the
Heart. This organ is a pump, an intrinsic work engine crucial to life. Further,
she expresses the psychological and spiritual understandings of the influence
of the Heart in the human experience. In this sense, the artist views the Heart
as the core and essence of a person, responsible for affections, emotions and
passions as well as being the source of vitality which motivates action.
Then the title mentions the Soul. The Soul
is less tangible than the Heart. This awareness embodies the interior and not
material part of a person. The Soul represents the life force and spiritual
strength of an individual.
In Janine's work the richness of colour,
depth of layering and dynamic interaction with the surface of the painting is
dramatic. In achieving this, she has documented both the cerebral complexities
of her journey, combined with her own emotional experience of the subject.
Heart
and Soul opens tonight (August 19) at 18h30. The
artists will be in attendance. There will be a cash bar and car guards on duty.
