“We live in a
beautiful world that presents us with the most incredible array of
creatures/plants/landscapes etc. which are further added to by the manner in which
humanity has altered our environment,” explains Kotze. “When my eyes are open is an exhibition which explores the
individual artists’ vision of the intriguing and captivating world in which we
reside. Some opt for a sensual approach to embrace the juicy visual world while
others examine the world in a more analytical approach. These are only two
viewpoints but the show boasts unique and intriguing outlooks from each
artist’s in their chosen field.
The exhibition will be opened on March 27 at 18h30 and
patrons are invited to join the artists for a glass of wine and a chance to
view an exciting diverse range of art at very affordable prices. All are
welcome.
There will be a walkabout on March 28 at 11h00 which is open
to the public, offering an opportunity to meet the artists and listen to them
talk first-hand about the creative process and their work.
When my eyes are open will
be open on March 27 (18h30 to 21h30), March 28 (10h00 to 16h00) and March 29 (10h00
to 14h30). The Breathing Space is situated at 191 Bulwer Road, Glenwood,
