(“Under The Sea” - acrylic
on canvas by Raja Oshi, 2016)
Opening at artSPACE durban on September 23 at 11h00 is an
exhibition by Pietermaritzburg-based artist Raja Oshi titled Hues and Shade.
“I enjoy adding texture to my surfaces and designing the
shape and discovering new adventures, it is as surprising every time you get a
different a varied outcome. I make my own material, since I feel like this is
an essential step in the process. I weave strips of canvas material together to
make my own sort of canvas, with its own specialized texture and response to
paint.
“When I rub my cloth “tapestry” layers with cloths dipped in
paint, it adds another dimension to my work. It begins to mix and overlap,
different materials and layers of paint to reveal hints of colour coming through
edges, layers and spaces,” says Oshi.
Hues and Shade
runs from September 23 to October 12, 2017.
