A Piece of the Continent by Sharon Pincus Jacobson
Jacobson dedicates her series of paintings to Namibia, on the South Western Coast of Africa. Her emotional immersion within the Namibian environment has inspired Jacobson to evoke an atmosphere of heat, thorns, dust and timelessness in this series of paintings. Employing yellows, oranges, mauves, faded ochres, dramatic vistas and outstretched roads, Jacobson recreates the colours and textures of its unique landscape and people. Further accentuating this vibrant experience of the land, she sometimes incorporates collaged beads from Namibian jewellery to…

In this exhibition, Baez Bonorat presents a series of abstract landscape paintings, each united by the thread of colour, texture and composition that together resolve in what the artist defines as a Golden Trinity. This trinity connects to heighten the audience’s visual engagement with the art works as well as to create a tactile resonance through composition that is further enhanced by modest, sometimes dramatic use of colours.

Edge of the Id by Phillipa Butters and Paul Williams
Edge of the Id is the latest duo exhibition by Phillipa Butters and Paul Williams. Their art practices share intensities of abstraction and spontaneity in depicting the hidden signs within landscape and human forms. Butters’ works incorporate recurring abstract symbols to characterise fossil markings. By relating evolutionary history of the land to human journeys, Butters traces the impacts of markings on shaping individual consciousness. Of significance to Williams is the complex relationship between man and landscape that appears in ancient…

Recasting by Brandt Lewis
Recasting is the latest solo exhibition by Brandt Lewis who further develops the themes of staging and narrative from his 2017 show at Thienny Lee Gallery, Staging Stills.

The narratives within these works stage retellings of art history, animals questioning their rightful place while mourning their losses, as well as various contexts of the artist's self-observation. Lewis cleverly ‘gets his hand’ into…
