Confronted with the lockdown, Willie Saayman conjures up a plethora of new characters using pastels, a medium he has not explored before. Inspired by politics, a world gone awry and the twisted morals of our time, these new works start off as single heads against empty backgrounds and gradually morph into multi-layered,colour-filled dreamscapes. Powerful men with dubious motives peer out at us while an invisible virus holds us ransom. Welcome to the Rogues Gallery!

 

 

Lothar Bottcher has always been fascinated by how light entwines itself with glass and recently read a paper on the act of scrying, which in words revealed the magical experiences we have "to see images in a crystal, water, etc. which reveal the past or forebode the future". My new Iceberg series refers to the unrevealed, just the tip, yet entice the viewer to come closer and explore.

 

 

Please RSVP by email, WhatsApp or phone call to reserve your specific timeslot - no more than 10 people in the gallery space at the same time.
