Well known Imbizo Gallery owner and curator Isabel Roos is a
certified lover of a broad selection of visual arts. She already owns two well-established
galleries – one in Ballito and one in Hoedspruit. Her latest project is a
beautiful new Gallery space in Pearl Walk – Umhlanga’s first high-end, boutique
shopping mall.
Pearl Walk, the actual Mall itself, is set to open its doors
officially in November, but Imbizo Gallery will be opening with a bang on October
27.
Roos has specifically chosen and invited four well-known
South African artists to open this prestigious event and space. These include
bronze sculptor Marke Meyer and painters Sarah Danes Jarrett, Natasha Barnes
and Nico Roos.
The name ‘Imbizo’ is the Zulu word for “meeting and coming
together” – and Isabel Roos’s gallery spaces are just that – a meeting place of
intriguing and thought provoking South African art.
Effervescent actor, singer and writer Barbie Meyer will open
the event on October 27 starting at 18h30. All art lovers and collectors are
welcome to join her and Isabel Roos as well as the artists themselves for
snacks and a glass of wine.
The launch exhibition runs until December 8. For more information
