Overview

In my artistic practice, I am deeply fascinated by the representation of female characters who defy the rigid black and white constructions imposed by society. I am driven by a desire to challenge and disrupt the conventional narratives and expectations that often limit the portrayal of women. Through my art, I seek to explore the complexities and nuances of female identity, embracing the multifaceted nature of womanhood. I am drawn to the stories of women who exist outside the boundaries of societal norms, those who refuse to be confined by labels or predefined roles.

By creating art that celebrates the diversity and individuality of women, I aim to empower and inspire viewers to question the narrow definitions and stereotypes that have been ingrained in our collective consciousness. I believe that by presenting female characters who don’t conform to societal expectations, we can challenge the status quo and open up new possibilities for self-expression and acceptance. In my artistic process, I employ a variety of mediums and techniques to capture the essence of these unconventional female characters. Through bold brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and intricate details, I aim to convey their strength, resilience, and unapologetic authenticity. Each stroke of the brush is a deliberate act of rebellion against the limited representations of women that have dominated the art world for far too long.

My work is an invitation to engage in a dialogue about the complexities of female identity and the importance of embracing diversity. By presenting female characters who exist in the gray areas, I hope to challenge viewers to question their own preconceived notions and biases, encouraging them to explore the beauty and power that lies in embracing the full spectrum of femininity. Ultimately, my artistic practice is driven by a deep belief in the transformative power of art. I strive to create a space where women can see themselves reflected in all their glorious complexity, where they can find validation, inspiration, and a sense of belonging. Through my art, I aim to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society, one that celebrates the vibrant tapestry of female experiences and embraces the beauty of individuality.

Michael Meyersfeld
Contemporary
Overview

Michael Meyersfeld lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. His entire working life has embraced photography in various forms. A veteran of both fine art and advertising photography, he has an extensive local and international portfolio of exhibitions and campaigns. He is currently completing his master’s degree in Art History at the University of the Witwatersrand where he explores the role of the Camera Club of Johannesburg in South African Histories of Photography. Meyersfeld’s work has recently shifted to a contemplation of the inherent qualities in objects. Presented as social commentary, it is notable for its stark, sometimes sombre, lonely and edgy imagery that has separateness from reality. The volume of the external world has been turned down in order that both the artist and the viewer can hear and feel the silence. These images could be rendered as abstractions, as less representational, less reliant on meaning and understanding. They are images drawing on texture and dramatic tension more than a linear narrative, pictures more inclined to be felt, to be experienced, than to be understood. His experimental photographic gallery “Backlight” continued for five years. This initiative included interactive photographic workshops and discussion groups fostering innovation at the intersections of photography and art. These lively gatherings, mainly attended by young black photographers, provided an opportunity for exposure and networking, supporting and enhancing the work and career development of black artists, and thinkers. Special friendships were forged through the showing and discussion of each other’s work and sharing of critical perspectives, technical and professional experience. Meyersfeld has won numerous awards and his work hangs in public collections, including Johannesburg Art Gallery; ABSA Permanent Collection; Johannesburg, South Africa; Constitutional Court, Johannesburg, South Africa; Richard Borek GmbH & Co. KG, and many others.

Overview

 “I am interested in a political art, that is to say an art of ambiguity, contradiction, uncompleted gestures and uncertain ending – an art (and a politics) in which optimism is kept in check, and nihilism at bay.” – William Kentridge

William Kentridge was born in 1955 in Johannesburg. Son of two anti-apartheid lawyers, he learned at an early age to question structural impositions. In 1976, he attained a degree in Politics and African Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand after which he studied art at the Johannesburg Art Foundation until 1978. There, he met Dumile Feni and was greatly influenced by his drawings. He also worked as a set designer for film productions and taught design printing until he moved to Paris in 1981 to study drama at the A’cole Jacques LeCoq.

During the 80’s, Kentridge was art director for television series and feature films. He then began making hand-drawn animated films. Although not directly referring to the segregationist era, he acquired international recognition as a South African artist whose work tracks a personal route across the aftermath of Apartheid and Colonialism. His films are set in the over-exploited, scorched industrial and mining landscape around Johannesburg, which represent the legacy of a time of abuse and injustice.

In a talk with art critic Okwui Enwezor, Kentridge expressed, ‘Drawing is not unlike the structure and evolution of the South African landscape.’ Since 1989 he has made 9 films that accompany the end of the apartheid system, the first elections and the work of Truth and Reconciliation Commission in trying to show the complex tensions in a postcolonial memory. Amongst them are “Johannesburg, 2nd Greatest City after Paris”, “Ubu tells the Truth”, and “Steroscope”.

In addition to film and drawing, an important part of his career has been devoted to theatre. From 1975-91 he was member of the Junction Avenue Theatre Company, in Johannesburg and Soweto. In 1992, he began collaborating, as set designer, actor, and director of the Handspring Puppet Company. The Company creates multi-media pieces using puppets, live actors and animation. It performs plays like Woyzeck, Faust and King Ubu to reflect on colonialism, and human struggle between the past, modernity and ethics.

William Kentridge’s work has been seen in museums and galleries around the world since the 1990s, including Documenta in Kassel, Germany (1997, 2003, 2012), the Museum of Modern Art in New York (1998, 2010), the Albertina Museum in Vienna (2010), Jeu de Paume in Paris (2010), and the Musée du Louvre in Paris (2010), where he presented Carnets d’Egypte, a project conceived especially for the Egyptian Room. Kentridge’s production of Mozart’s The Magic Flute was presented at Theatre de la Monnaie in Brussels, Festival d’Aix, and in 2011 at La Scala in Milan, and his production of Shostakovich’s The Nose was seen at The New York Metropolitan Opera in 2010 and again in 2013, traveling to Festival d’Aix and to Lyon in 2011. The 5-channel video and sound installation The Refusal of Time was made for Documenta (13) in Kassel, Germany, in 2012; since then it has been seen atMAXXI in Rome, the Metropolitan Museum, New York, and other cities including Boston, Perth, Kyoto, Helsinki and Wellington. A substantial survey exhibition of Kentridge’s work opened in Rio de Janeiro in 2012, going on in following years to Porto Alegre, São Paulo, Bogota, Medellin, and Mexico City. In the summer of 2014 Kentridge’s production of Schubert’s Winterreiseopened at the Vienna festival, Festival d’Aix, and Holland Festival. In the fall it opened at the Lincoln Center in New York. Paper Music, a concert of projections with live music by Philip Miller, opened in Florence in September 2014, and was presented at Carnegie Hall in New York in late October 2014, and will continue to be performed in different cities. Both the installation The Refusal of Time and its companion performance piece Refuse the Hour were presented in Cape Town in February 2015.

In 2010, Kentridge received the prestigious Kyoto Prize in recognition of his contributions in the field of arts and philosophy. In 2011, he was elected as an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and received the degree of Doctor of Literature honoris causa from the University of London. In 2012, Kentridge presented the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard University and was elected member of the American Philosophical Society and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Also in that year, he was awarded the Dan David Prize by Tel Aviv University, and was named as Commandeur des Arts et Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. In 2013, William Kentridge was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts by Yale University and in 2014 received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Cape Town.

In 2015, Kentridge  directed Alban’s Berg’s opera Lulu in a co-production of the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam (June 2015), the Metropolitan Opera in New York (November 2015), and the English National Opera in London, where it will be performed in October 2016 to coincide with a new exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery.

Other continuing projects in the studio include work on two new multi-channel projection installations. Danse Macabre is conceived as an 8-channel video projection of figures in procession. It was shown first in an installation at the EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam in April 2015, and will also be part of a projection biennale in Germany in September. Notes Toward a Model Opera, a projection over three screens, was part of a large new survey exhibition which opened in Beijing in June 2015 (the exhibition went on to museums in Nanjing, Seoul, and other cities in the Far East). For the 2015 Istanbul biennale, Kentridge worked on a new site-specific installation of sound and video. Work continues on Triumphs & Laments, an approximately 500m frieze of figures to be power-washed from the accumulated pollution on the walls of the Tiber River in Rome – triumphs and laments in the history of Rome – though the project is contingent on permission from the city of Rome.

Popoola Nurudeen
Contemporary
Overview

” My practice is centred around creating artworks that communicate the modernity of Africanism, I intend to stimulate the beholder’s reasoning of the possible reality of combining African culture with assimilated foreign traditions without losing touch of who we are. I create a visualization of African youth, male and female, who while lusting after western characteristics still maintains the identity of their heritage. An attitude I hope new generation Africans can imbibe in their desire to live up to the fashion and expectations of today’s fanciful society.” – Popoola Nurudeen

Popoola Nurudeen (b.1989) is a Nigerian artist. Nurudeen graduated from the prestigious Yaba College of Technology Lagos where he studied Fine art and majored in painting.

Popoola Nurudeen was awarded ‘Best Student in (painting section)’ in 2014 and 2015, as well as the overall best graduating student in the school of art, design and printing, Yaba College of Technology Lagos, 2016. He also received an award for the best painting/mixed media in 2018 the ‘Life in my city arts festival’ (LIMCAF).

His works have been collected both locally and internationally. after his NYSC, he worked briefly as a lecturer at The Ultimate University Portnovo, Beninrepublic. Popoola’s works are inspired by Africa and its people.

Alex Coetzee
Contemporary
Overview

“I like to maximize playfulness within a very narrow set of parameters. First and foremost, I consider myself to be a formalist. Fundamental aspects of composition, form and colour are the things that I think about. Working within an established tradition of geometric abstraction, humour is my way of keeping the conversation around formalism fresh.” – Alex Coetzee

Alex Coetzee is an artist and architect based in Cape Town, South Africa. He holds a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Cape Town and a post-graduate diploma in printmaking from the University of Cape Town’s ‘Michaelis School of Fine Art’. Coetzee’s art practice is interdisciplinary and expands upon his formal training as both an architect and artist.

At the core of his practice is an interest in the relationship between representation and reality. His current body of sculptural work explores relationships between geometric form, colour, and figurative association in ways that are both playful and precise.
