"Images in Clay" by Ceramics Southern Africa KZN Regional Exhibition

 

The KZN Ceramic Association hosts their annual regional exhibition.  It will showcase the best of KwaZulu-Natal ceramic art.  Among the invited
guest artists are Rika Senekal, a fiery artist from the interior of KZN.

 

 

 

 

Founded in 1972, Ceramics Southern Africa is the official representative body of potters in Southern Africa. The objective of the association is to promote ceramics in Southern Africa by improving the work being produced and to foster an interest in ceramics by the general public. This is done by presenting workshops and organising exhibitions regionally and nationally.

 

The purpose of Ceramics Southern Africa is to maintain a representative forum for the encouragement and fostering of the art and craft of ceramics in Southern Africa. The field encompasses all relevant processes that add value to clay.

 

 

 

“Mondays” – Garret Artists Exhibition in conjunction with Ceramics SA KZN Regional

 

The group was started by Jeanette Gilks in 1989, and after her retirement from Garret Artists 3 years ago, they have continued to work together on a weekly basis using Jeanette’s techniques and methods.

 

After a very successful exhibition with Ceramics SA in 2010 and 2011, the Garret Artists have once again been invited to exhibit in 2012, showing their innovative and exciting work from the past year.

Artist’s Statement

 

It was the tactile, sculpture nature of proteas that first drew me to them as a subject for a series of paintings.  Their unique qualities and visual intricacies lend it to different renderings, therefore, my exploration with them in diverse media and styles, leading to the creative process becoming as important as the final outcome.

 

Painting with acrylic on board has enabled a new immediacy and spontaneity in my work.  Experimentation with various materials including filler, felt and stencils and a range of unconventional utensils such as squeegees, silicone brushes, and sandpaper has added dimensional complexity and interest to the surface of the works.

 

The freedom and playfulness I employ during the creative process translates into energy, vitality and life in my work, hence a new and contemporary take on the traditional botanic theme.

 
These exhibitions run through 7 July  2012
 
 

 Current exhibition closes on 16 June at 2p.m.:
