GATHER

(“Speckled Red Reflects” - oil on board by Alex Coutts)

Running in the Main Gallery at artSPACE durban is an exhibition titled Gather. This presents a group of artists, facilitated by Grace Kotze, who choose to paint together and exhibit as a collective.

Gather represents a cross section of creative spirits, from beginners to exhibiting artists who enjoy the experience of learning and growing through the process of a collective exploratory experience. The exhibitors display a very strong sense of “self” within the group, which describes the many personal journeys each artist pursues. Such individual identity presents an exhibition of great diversity.

This show is a celebration of the creative nature of the human spirit and the will to reach for more than what the structure of the day-to-day presents. Artists vary in age from teenager to retiree, yet all possess the same will to explore create.

Gather  runs at artSPACE durban until April 12 at 14h:00. artSPACE durban is situated at 3 Millar Road (off Umgeni Road) close to the Waste Centre. More information on 031 312 0793 or visit www.artspacedurban.co.za or www.artspacedurban.blogspot.com
