(“Freedom Flight” by Jane Digby. 80 x 120 cm. Pic supplied)

The Gallery at the Ballito Lifestyle Centre presents a new exhibition titled F L O W

Officially opening on June 1, 2023, at 18h00, it will run until July 30, 2023.

Going with the flow is what life’s all about here, on the North Coast!:

Flow - the steady and continuous movement of something/somebody in one direction.  

Flow - the mental state in which a person is engaged in an activity where they are fully immersed with a feeling of energised focus, involvement, and significance in the process of the activity.

As in life, as in the sea and in creativity, it is wiser to go with the flow than to fight against it.

Poet and philosopher Mark Nepo says “In life as in water, when we curl up or flail we sink.  When we spread and go still, we are carried by the largest sea of all: the sea of grace that flows steadily beneath the turmoil of events.   And just as fish can’t see the ocean they live in, we can’t quite see the spirit that sustains us.” 

The Gallery is proud to present a collaboration of South African artists with a wide range of mediums and styles creating another visual feast, “FLOW”, for the community during this winter holiday season on the North Coast. Relax and unwind while you experience the atmosphere created by art and design, in all its forms, at The Studios, Ballito Lifestyle Centre.
