(“Woman in Grasslands” by Heather Gourlay-Conyngham)
The
Tatham Art Gallery in Pietermaritzburg is to host an exhibition by five
prominent local artists. Titled Five
Degrees of Separation, it will feature the work of Terri Broll, Ian Calder,
Heather Gourlay-Conyngham, Louise Hall, and Terence King.
The five
artists featured in this exhibition are part of an ongoing local peer mentoring
and discussion group. All are former students or lecturers connected to the
Centre for Visual Art at the Pietermaritzburg campus of the University of
KwaZulu-Natal.
The
artists’ works are connected in the first instance by the immediacy of communicating
via marks on a canvas or other support. The works, although based in
observation, display differing degrees of realism, so as to amplify the
interpretive possibilities of the subject.
The
exhibition opens on March 25 at 09h30 for 10h00 and the opening speaker will be
Susie Goodman from Strauss & Co. There will be a concert by Christopher
Duigan at 11h00, after the opening.
Five Degrees of Separation runs from March 25 to May 20 in
the Schreiner Gallery of the Tatham Art Gallery which is situated opposite the
Town Hall in Chief Albert Luthuli Street, Pietermaritzburg. It is open from
Tuesdays to Sundays from 10h00 to 17h00. Café Tatham is open on Saturdays. Safe
parking with a car guard available. More information on 033 392 2801 or visit
