Abstract*d

7 May 2022 - 27 May 2022

This artist-run exhibition, curated by Tanja Truscott, is born from a passion for Abstract art. It presents the work of Balekane Legoabe, Odette Marais, Karla Nixon, Tanja Truscott and Shui-Lyn White. Five artists who explore beyond the physical reality to express that which can’t always be explained in words, giving us the time to reflect and look beyond the surface.

In the run-up to the exhibition they were in visual conversation with one another. They ‘spoke’ to one another in images. A conversation without words about line, colour, texture, shape and light. Sometimes the conversation was direct, at other times quirky with humorous lateral jumps, but it always spoke about how they saw the world around them.

StateoftheART prides itself on innovative and diverse projects, and by hosting our first artist-led exhibition we are opening our space to fresh voices and new ideas - whilst providing artists with an opportunity to push the boundaries of their own practice.

Participating: Balekane Legoabe, Odette Marais, Karla Nixon, Tanja Truscott and Shui-Lyn White.
