Born a century after the renowned South African artist Irma Stern (1894 – 1966), contemporary artist Georgina Gratrix (1982) is, like Stern, a dedicated colourist testing the limits of oil painting. Many aspects of Stern’s work are reflected in Gratrix’s pieces; composition, colouration and subject matter. In this way, Gratrix makes both direct and indirect references to Stern. Cut and paste woman 2010Oil on Canvas80 x 60 cmUnique Shortly after her first exhibition in South Africa a century ago, Stern was lambasted by the local media. In a review titled “Art of Miss Irma Stern &#8211; Ugliness as a Cult,” one critic referred to her work as a “Freak Picture Exhibition.” 100 years later, Gratrix takes this sentiment as her point of departure to examine the ways in which Modernism, and in particular German Expressionism, have made an impact on her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Stellenbosch Triennale 2020, brainchild of the Stellenbosch Outdoor Sculpture Trust, takes place from 11 February to 30 April 2020 and will present a remarkable collection of artistic talents to construct an event in which contemporary African art will hold a critical dialogue with the society that fosters and exhibits it. The theme Tomorrow There Will Be More of Us, which was conceived by Chief Curator and Artistic Director Khanyisile Mbongwa, runs as a thread throughout the seven multidisciplinary platforms. All will provide meeting points for engagement with the divided past, the collective present and imagined futures. The curator’s exhibition has been conceived by Mbongwa, with co-curator Bernard Akoi-Jackson. It will feature 20 multidisciplinary artists, from a range of African countries. On the list, selected by the curatorial team, are some of the world’s most revered artists whose works are situated at the borderline between avant-garde and mainstream: Conceptualist and sculptor Ibrahim Mahama (Ghana), Visual artist Sethembile Msezane (South Africa) and filmmaker Kivu Ruhorahoza (Rwanda) &#8211; to name a few. Mbongwa sees the theme, and participants, as being part of a unfolding narrative. “For me, Tomorrow There Will Be More of Us is about imagining (and creating) common sustainable futures [...]]]></description>
