ALTERATION | 26 OCT – 25 NOV 2016
ILENÉ BOTHMA Bothma received a BA in Fine Art (with distinction) in 2003 and an MA in Fine Art, in 2007, both degrees from the Stellenbosch University. She received a second MA in Fine Art (with distinction) in 2011 from Northumbria University in Newcastleupon-Tyne, in the UK. She currently lives and works in Cape Town. “My art practice questions the ambivalence that I experience towards the domestic. It is in this state of questioning, of feeling vulnerable and exposed, that I explore the comfortable and the awkward; the controlled and uncontrolled; the familiar and the strange; exteriority and interiority. It is at the meeting-point of these dualities where these pairings slip and merge that I situate my work”
ZARAH CASSIM Zarah Cassim is an artist born and raised in Cape Town. She graduated from the UCT Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2014
with a major in photography and painting. Viewing herself in relation to the landscape, it presents a blank canvas to Cassim, a space free from error. She sees landscape as natural, raw, wild, untouched. As allowing layers of human reality to be imposed, explored and exposed within it; it is perceived as we wish. Cassim now lives and works in Paris.
KAREN CRONJE Cape Town artist Karen Cronje explores dystopia and dissolution through painting, combining figures, atmospheric conditions and landscapes. Cronje received an MFA from Stellenbosch University in 2001. Usually, in creating compositions, she makes use of various found digital images which are then combined with her own images and photographs. Central in the creation of the works is atmosphere / mood – usually created by combining disparate images and painterly marks.
GAWIE JOUBERT
JOHANN NORTJE
Gawie Joubert is a South African artist currently living and working in Abu Dhabi.
Johann Nortje is a Pretoria based sculptor, born in 1980. He studied Fine Arts at Tshwane University of Technology for nondiploma purposes, specialising in sculpture. His work deals with finding links between the spiritual and the mundane, with specific interest in the roots of ancestry, mythology and cultural traditions. Each Spirit Walker in the series is built from actual roadkill bones, mostly collected from the northern parts of the Western Cape coast. They are constructed into figures with cable-ties and steel, and then cast into bronze.
He received his BA (Hon.) in Graphic Design in 2010 from North Western University. Joubert’s work is an exploration of his own identity. Though his ink and charcoal figures, the artist interweaves his understanding of himself in relation to nature and memory. He the fluid manner in which one’s identity is formed as vines – climbing and creeping over these figures. Much like personal identity, the growth and transformation of a plant is ever-changing.
HANNALIE TAUTE KENEILWE MOKOENA Mokoena is a young visual artist based in Pretoria, with a National Diploma in Fine Art from the Tshwane University of Technology. She was recently awarded the 2015 Reinhold Cassirer Award. Deeply fascinated by the chaotic profusion of nature, Mokoena works to illustrate how nature functions best between the binaries of order and chaos – thriving amidst both creation and destruction. “Often when I contemplate life, it is easy to acknowledge the disturbing chaos and destruction that is prevalent in society and within myself, so it becomes crucial for me to also acknowledge the adverse amount of order and creativity that exists.”
Taute obtained a National Higher Diploma for Fine Art from Port Elizabeth Technicon (now the NMMU) in 2000. Since her student days, Taute has found her inspiration in fairy tales and is drawn to the universality of these ancient stories, which exist all over the world and point to a common humanity. It is often just the title of an original fairy tale that remains in her work; she finds her contemporaneous edge by subverting original meaning. Working with rubber and embroidery is the perfect fit for this artist whose concerns are firmly centred on feminist issues. She currently lives and works in Stilbaai.
