Don’t miss the last opportunity to see two extraordinary exhibitions currently on display at the Tatham Art Gallery in Pietermaritzburg.
The Gerard Bhengu: tradition and modernity exhibition, curated by Juliette Leeb du Toit, is a comprehensive display of work by the artist, spanning his artistic career from his early work (1925) to the portraits that he created toward the end of his life (1985). The work on this exhibition remains relevant today as an emerging modernity amongst a more politicised black South African populace who renew their embrace of culture and tradition, give Bhengu prominence as a man of his era and a painter of modern life. The exhibition closes on April 30, 2022, at 17h00.
Tsholofelo Moche’s exhibition Home Truths is on display until May
8, 2022, at 17h00.
Through a varied presentation of ceramics, beads, photographs, video and installation, Moche explores how his past informs his present.
The purpose of the exhibition is to invite audiences to reflect on their personal lives and consider the question: upon which history should we cast our identity?
N.B The artist Tsholofelo Moche will be conducting a walkabout for his exhibition (Home Truths) on Friday May 6, 2022, at 13h30, parking is available.
