Riva Cohen of The Atlantic Gallery is this month’s Art Leader profile, having been in business for over forty - two years “I support artists whose work I love and believe in. It’s as simple as that,” Mark Midgely one of her artists describes his relationship with Cohen as beyond any “artist-art dealer” relationship. It has become a great trusting and sincere friendship that cannot be replaced.” He adds: “ Riva is a genuine friend to clients, artists, fellow gallery owners and agents. In the words of a fellow artist, Simon Jones: ‘she is the artist’s saint’.” See page 3. Photo: Jenny Altschuler
Judith Mason New work at The South African Print Gallery Judith Mason’s new series of lithographs are now available at The South African Print Gallery, Woodstock, Cape Town (www.printgallery.co.za) . They have been printed using the new monotype transfer technique that Mark Attwood at The Artist’s Press have developed to meet the needs of artists who are primarily painters. On the subject of pomegranates this is what Judith stated that: “Pomegranates have always been my favourite fruit because of their beautiful caskets of jewel-like seeds within, and the hard, almost pot-like exterior. It is an ancient fruit, celebrated in the Song of Solomon and regarded by the Early Church as a symbol of the Resurrection. In these prints I have tried to celebrate the fruit’s sensual qualities, and its oozing ruby juice, and have juxtaposed it with a hammer to remind one of its skull-like vulnerability.” See www.artists-press.com for more Published monthly by Global Art Information Editor: Gabriel Clark-Brown editor@arttimes.co.za PO Box 15881 Vlaeberg, 8018 Advertising: Eugene Fisher sales@arttimes.co.za Tel. 021 424 7733 Fax. 021 424 7732 Subscriptions: Bastienne Klein subs@arttimes.co.za
