The JHB Civic Gallery is delighted to be hosting a group exhibition by a number of young South African artists who have challenged the medium and techniques of watercolour.

Artists participating include Merryn Singer, Joni Brenner, Stefan Erasmus, Monica Madeira, Flip Hattingh, Thomasin Dewhurst, Robyn Sassen, Michelle Kriek and Tayrn Millar. Merryn Singer takes the traditional landscape and paints it in blood. Joni Brenner turns intimate portraits into large-scale washes of colour. Stefan Erasmus and Flip Hattingh use the watercolours as elements of their artists' books while Monica Madeira examines the intimate landscapes of cells and DNA structures in large-scale works.

This exhibition is part of the Standard Bank Watercolour Festival 2000.

The exhibition opens on Wednesday 17 May at 6:00pm. Please join us for drinks.

Tours of the exhibition and the Johannesburg Civic Theatre are available on request. School groups and cultural groups are welcome to join us for free workshops at the gallery. These need to be booked at least a week in advance. Minimum size is 6 people and maximum group size is 15 people This exhibition continues the mission of the JHB Civic Gallery to support and encourage young and emerging South African artists.
