Overview

Counting forms a fundamental part of my artistic practice, paying special attention to the numbers 9,18, and 36. I work systematically to unlock surface meaning in the search for a deeper understanding of the purpose of the everyday. My practice is grounded in a belief in the links between art and science; spiritual practice and in reincarnation; and the search for ways of shifting perspectives. I count brush marks as a form of meditation, allowing the mark of the brush to leave a visual trace as ghosts do.

Much of my work is spatiotemporal, meaning that it belongs to both time and space. Time in that it is allegorical, lamenting past traumas or occurrences; and space in that these ungraspable yet palpable forces continue to occupy tangible physical and emotional space in the present. I see this as a sensuous entanglement of existence simultaneously forming a visible metaphor for life in all its ungraspable transcendence.

I use repetitive processes, beginning with a small mark and subsequently grow them into larger works. Using drawing, either with a pen or pastel, as well as oil paint I repeatedly form the same mark; the works ultimately form themselves. My commitment is planted in three series which are evolving over time: scales, ripple-effects and ghostings. Together these form part of an ongoing body of work using the technique of systematic repetition as an underlying structure – Repetition in the form of counting and employing particular number combinations; and repeating the same marks to the rhythm of those counts. I have chosen the numbers 11, 13, 18 and 36 to form the basis for these repeated actions. Each of these numbers imbue significant connotations.

The scale drawings began as a reference to fish scales in an ode for those endangered and already extinct fish from our oceans. However, through the year long process of drawing or practicing scales, these works have come to represent concerns of a changeable ecology, disappearing resources and interconnectedness. As I ‘scaled up’, I began to notice that no matter how I tried to create uniformity by mimicking a machine-like repetition of drawing scales, the irregularity of my hand would make a visible impression. This impression is what created the illusion of waves and ripples.

Using a curve or a wave as a starting point, the pastel drawings are stirred by the sense of movement in water and the concurrent, often colliding shapes that emerge. Titled, causation, this series is pointing to the moment of cause and the resulting consequences, highlighting outcomes unintended.

The ‘ghostings’ are composed from an overlapping series of brushmarks. At first laden with paint the brush begins to make its mark yet through the sequence of strokes, its colour diminishes until there is only an unstable, fragmented residue which I have called ‘ghosting’. While events or wounded historical experiences may remain locked in the past, their inaccessibility becomes manifest through the meditative process of painting and drawing. Intergenerational trauma both psychological and ecological has a haunting force. These brushmarks represent such experiences, both acknowledging their impact and liberating them from their cause.

I cannot be sure what residues of ghostliness haunt and inspire me, as there are so many events I would like to forget, yet I remain aware of these experiences and their after-effects. By repeatedly drawing or painting the seemingly same mark, I am hoping to find expression for the inexpressible, bringing into existence that which is intangible yet felt.

Vanessa Berlein
Contemporary
Overview

Vanessa Berlein is a South African artist. Primarily a painter, throughout her career she has explored and worked in many mediums, including photography, various print mediums, and sculpture. Her work has been and continues to be exhibited in South Africa and abroad.

Born in 1968 and raised on a farm in Mpumalanga, South Africa, she became interested in making art at a young age. Her mother was a pianist, and her father a geologist and farmer. She grew up in a home filled with music, art, and books, and an eccentric mix of houseguests who would arrive with tales of wonder and stories that fuelled the youngster’s imagination and instilled a desire for travel and adventure. From the age of 5, she attended boarding schools.

Her Great Grandfather had been a keen collector of 16th Century Dutch and Flemish art, and her first influences in painting were the styles of that school of painting.

On leaving school, Berlein studied Fine Art for 2 years at the Natal Technicon in Durban, majoring in painting. Her exposure to artists such as Otto Dix and Giacometti gave her a chance to start regarding new narratives in painting, and she became interested in exploring the theatrics of society’s revelries. In 1989, she moved to Johannesburg and studied prosthetic make-up, and this further influenced her painting techniques and her love for the drama of human expression, theatrics, and story.

Vanessa Berlein works across a broad spectrum of subjects, from portraiture to landscapes, abstraction to botanical study. Now in her 50’s, having worked consistently as an artist for over 30 years, subjects, mediums, and techniques are beginning to merge in her work. While her botanical paintings were mostly small in scale, they are now as oversized as her portraits have always been. Landscapes have merged with abstraction, and the use of thread, metal leafing, and industrial products have begun to be incorporated in all of her works.

Berlein’s figurative and portrait work is well known. She has been a Finalist in the SPI National portrait award 5 times. In her paintings, she explores the eccentric and individual quirks of people. Furthermore, it celebrates the beauty within humanity and the fragility of the human soul and their individual stories. Berlein sets out to capture the moments between poses when people are most candid and unaware of the viewer, and so expose their most vulnerable side. She has an enormous love for humanity and its individual stories.

In her abstract works, Berlein works with a cross-section of mediums, including metal leaFing, thread and stitching, and industrial products alongside fine art materials.

Her abstract paintings are greatly influenced and informed by the time spent as a young child on a goldmine that her father owned in the Pilgrimsrest area. Before her father purchased the mine in 1972, it had last been mined during the gold rush in the late 1800s. Berlein spent much time with her father exploring the old underground mine workings and learning about the formation of the reef in the area. Her abstract paintings draw inspiration from material use, largely from geology and the formation and colour of minerals and rock. More recently, she has begun to incorporate thread and stitching in an emotional response to her identity and privilege as a child born of European descent in South Africa.

Berlein’s landscape and seascape work is an extension of her abstract works wherein she utilizes similar materials, such as metal leafing, powdered pigments, and glazes. Her Landscape and Seascape work evokes a sense of melancholy and surrealism. Drawn from the memory of road trips throughout her life, they are mostly imagined and yet recognisable as somewhere many have been to. The paintings are an emotional and often melancholic response to the landscape in her country, often evoking a sense of desolate beauty devoid of humans and yet evocative of human memory and longing.

There is a dream-like quality in the paintings, as the reflective quality of the metal leaFing changes through the hours and so to the imagery. Her botanical studies are a nod to the Dutch and Flemish schools of painting of the 17th and early 18th Century and their mastery of technique and use of light in the depiction of Flowers and fruit. In her most recent exhibition, BLOOM, Berlein threaded ribbons into the paintings so that they cascaded from the petals and stamens off the canvases and onto the floor, as if the blooms could not be contained by the perimeter of the canvas. Berlein lives in Cape town, South Africa, presently working from a studio in Woodstock, Capetown.

    Biography

    Gabrielle Raaff  lives and works in Lakeside, Cape Town.
    Raaff’s works begin with a photographic image, and while this image serves as a jumping-off point only, we are repeatedly brought back to the photographic process. The medium of photography, and its ability to fix an image is what piques her interest. The artist works with ethereality. She uses the media of ink, water-colour and water-based oil as a vehicle for alluding to the form, the function and the emotion of her subject. Landscape and its reference both to actual place and places of the subconscious are what can be found lurking in her paintings. Raaff’s most notable earlier works in water-colour and ink capturing beach and city figures and aerial Google satellite images of distinctly different South African neighbourhoods, rely on a cool relationship between herself and the subject and revel in the abstract qualities of the view.

    Overview

    My process of painting echoes the way I live in the world, calling for appropriate responses to different situations, requiring particular strengths and intuitions to help direct flow and development.

    Each painting requires that I take certain steps to add to, change or remove the marks made before. This very intuitive process sometimes calls for a light hearted detachment and sometimes sheer courage but there is a trust that the painting has a life of its own and works itself out in the end.

    My recent works hold within them the contradictions of the lives of ordinary people around me that I find interesting. There is a tug that plays out between abstraction and figuration, clarity and mystery. I have had an affiliation with watery media for many years now, sometimes exploring the properties of ink, water colour and water soluble oil through the genre of landscape and in this show through photographs found in newspapers of people doing the most normal things. Looking at my source material which dates back to before the great global interruption, the concept of ‘what is normal’ requires some obvious reflection. Taken out of context the bodies that inhabited these original stories now take on new more universal roles. Sometimes more than one story collides in a single painting because I have literally overlapped one scene over another. Limbs collide, shapes of colour emerge or recede and the context is further obfuscated. I like to create new landscapes where contradictions can co-exist. As I work I like to explore the properties, possibilities and wilfulness of very diluted pigment.

    I play with using my materials the way I usually would on paper, not seeking detail or even depth but enjoying the thrill of making a mark and seeing where it may lead. A new narrative is intimated through limited amounts of activity on the canvas, implying just enough for the viewer to interpret what they see and therefore take the story to their own conclusion.
