(The Pieta Bronze by Elizabeth Balcomb)
Opening at the KZNSA’s Main Gallery, Mezzanine and Park
Gallery on August 13 is Homosapien.
The show is bound together by a group of artists tugging
towards the human form. As much as the exhibition is about the portrayal of
humanity, it is also about the artists’ personal journey within the self. Artists
featured are Christiaan Diedericks, Ledelle Moe, Vulindlela Nyoni, Niel Jonker,
Grace Kotze, Peter Rippon, Elizabeth Balcomb, Sarah Lovejoy and Sandra Hanekom.
Each artist's uniqueness of vision is fused with their
passion for their chosen material. At times, manipulation of material describes
the artists’ relationships with the human form as much as the chosen subject.
Curated by Grace Kotze, Homosapien
promises to be a show of great substance due to the individual’s relentless
investigation into the captivating subject of the human form.
The exhibition opens on August 13 at 18h00. All welcome. The
exhibition runs until September 1. The
KZNSA Gallery is situated at 166 Bulwer Road, Glenwood, in Durban. More
