MAIN
GALLERY
OF THIS AND THAT Andrew
Verster
Verster has produced five distinct series that
together form this exhibition entitled OF THIS AND THAT. There are
medium and large-scale oils on canvas, 120 palm size sculptures
Signposts, pen and ink drawings People of
Importance and Remnants and an installation of cut-outs
Sacred Memories.
Within his career Andrew Verster has created a
truly astounding body of work distinguished by constant innovation and
transformation. With each new exhibition there is a sense of the new but also of
consistency and maturation of common and enduring themes. Versters work
often expresses an interest in the collective unconscious, dreams, symbols and
their meanings. Andrew Verster is one of Durbans most prolific and highly
respected artists.
MEZZANINE GALLERY
ETCHINGS- Paul
Painting
Paintings preoccupations centre around portrayals
of the figurative body. Painting held a successful solo exhibition at the AVA
Gallery in 2007 and has participated in group shows nationally, including the
iArt and the Everard Read galleries.
More recently Painting has turned his attention to printmaking, specifically
etching, under the tutelage of Judy Woodborne, and his work has been selected
for group and solos throughout the Cape and Johannesburg. In this he has favored
imagery that borders on the macabre and fantastical, qualified by a vein of dark
humour and tragicomedy. Mug shots of vicious criminals rub shoulders with
stuffed gorillas, concrete dinosaurs square off against burlesque wrestlers: a
phantasmagoria of ill-starred
misfits.
