A Black Aesthetic - A View of South African Artists (1970-1990)
Feb 22 - Apr 18 2019
Cnr Simmonds and Frederick Sts, City Centre
The exhibition features work produced between 1970 and 1990, one of the tensest and most turbulent periods in South African history. Featured artists include Gerard Sekoto, Dumile Feni and Gladys Mgudlandlu and a broad variety of mediums are represented including etchings, woodcuts, linocuts, serigraphs, drawings, paintings and sculpture. From resistance art to abstraction and everyday scenes of both hardship and optimism, the works on display represent an important record of the artistic life of black South Africa during the final decades of apartheid.
The exhibition is complemented by a programme of free exhibition walkabouts. The walkabouts take place at 11:00 on Feb 23, Mar 9, 16 and 30 and Apr 6.
