"MINE : Works by 9 Artists"
2009-11-17 until 2009-11-29
KZNSA - KwaZulu Natal Society of Arts
Durban, , ZA South Africa

Elizabeth Sparg, Renee Leslie, Simmi Dullay, Lesley Magwood-Fraser, Angie Arbuthnot, Bheki Kambuhle, Mbekheni Mbili, Cally Lotz and Lee Scott Hempson are the participants in the second KZNSA Professional Practice Course. Over the past three months, this group has engaged in an interactive process of theory and practice in exploring the essential requirements of how to make it big in the art world. The title of their exhibition – MINE – alludes to one of the core requirements of success in this highly competitive field: the development of a visual language that is unique, bold, and exciting; that says something new and says it in a manner that has never been seen before.

The provocative manipulation of matter and materials defies the traditional, adds depth to the contemporary, and re-defines the artists within the context of their highly specific lives.

MINE presents bodies of work in a sweeping variety of media, with vibrant oils and acrylics telling important stories of everyday life, moody graphite adding grainy depth drawn from life, funky animation that saunters in and out of absurd situations, outrageously delicious lightboxes, the movement of wind-swept landscapes captured in collaged hard copy, and a strange, warped and totally new form of photography that simulates the folding twists of our dynamic environment.
