(Banele Khoza)
Alliance Française de Durban and The Durban Art Gallery will present Seeking Love – a solo exhibition by 2017
Gerard Sekoto award winner Banele Khoza which opens at the Durban Art Gallery on
May 21, 2019.
This collection of work reflects the complex nature of love, how
important it is to acknowledge the heart’s desires and to also learn self-love
– which he wants people to walk away from the exhibition thinking about.
“This exhibition is an open love letter to whoever is watching or
reading my work – also to God/All/The universe. I am confessing that I am
ready, and I am letting go of the search,” explains Banele Khoza.
Khoza (1994) is a Swazi-born and South African-based visual artist. He
first enrolled at the London International School of Fashion in Pretoria, but
soon realized his passion was in the Fine Arts realm. He holds a B-Tech in Fine
Arts from Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria. In 2017, he won the
prestigious Gerard Sekoto Award and with it a three-month residency at the Cité
Internationale des Arts in Paris.
Free walkabout with the artist will take place on May 22 from 10h00 until
noon. This will be an opportunity for the public to view the art, learn about
the creative process and the intention of the artwork.
Seeking Love runs at the Durban
Art Gallery from May 21 until June 21, 2019.
