(“Henge of Stone in
Time”, oil on canvas by Hermine Spies Coleman)
The Power of Loss
and Gain, a solo exhibition by Hermine Spies Coleman, will be opened on Sunday July
21 at 11h00 in the Schreiner Gallery of the Tatham Art Gallery in
Pietermaritzburg. The opening speaker is Moray Comrie.
The artist has drawn and painted over existing paintings, obliterating
segments. This takes courage, as one does lose what is held as precious;
however, in the process one may gain a new image with fresh meaning. It is
discovery, but not without the discomfort of losing and letting go. Life is
like that: destruction in the process of continually shaping the significance
of the whole, a process symbolic of loss and gain.
The artist will conduct two workshops in the Gallery, on Wednesdays August
7 and 21 from 09h30 to 12h30. Between these dates the participating artists
will take turns to work on collaborative art work in the Gallery to explore
over-drawing in search of meaning.
Booking for this workshop, which costs R300 in total, is essential
