A group watercolour exhibition.
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.
