A body of abstract art, never shown before, is being exhibited at Storms River Village over the festive season.
About ten Tsitsikamma artists are participating in the “ABSTRACT – see things differently” exhibition that opened on Friday, November 22, and will run until Tuesday, January 10, 2020.
The majority of the paintings and sculptures have been specially created for the occasion. A few older works have not been exhibited before, nor marketed online. It is a great opportunity to experience how artists see things differently.
This is the annual Summer exhibition of Art-for-All Gallery, formerly Bitou Art Gallery, which represents artists in the region.
“We changed our name to ‘Art-for-All’ because we are unpretentious and accessible,” says gallery owner and artist Johan Brink.
“We bring art to the public, and opportunity and benefits to our diverse group of local artists. We sell large paintings and small paintings, framed and unframed; originals and prints.
“Truly, we have art by all and art for all. We pride ourselves on the fact that we offer a wide range of mediums and styles – art made by locals, made with passion and heart. Every piece, including the signed art prints, contains a bit of the artist’s soul and a dash of her or his DNA.”
The participating artists are Johan Brink, Elzette Bester, Susan Kemp, Elmarie Swanepoel, Marcel Terblanche, Marlene Liebenberg, Nic Hester, Estelle Hester, Tess Maas and Nathalie Strassburg.
