Artist and sculptor Claudette Schreuders returns to Stevenson for her fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. <em>The Bystanders</em> derives its title from the exhibition’s central figure <em>The Guilty Bystander</em>, a large wooden sculpture in contemplative posture, which stands in the centre of the exhibition. The figure of <em>The</em> <em>Guilty Bystander</em> is an observer who is both separated from and involved with her surroundings, someone who wishes to be isolated and alone, but ultimately cannot be detached from society. While <em>The</em> <em>Guilty Bystander</em> stands alone, the sculpture is surrounded by ink portraits of previous sculptures made by Schreuders, finding her counterparts in earlier works such as <em>Mingle </em>(2000) and <em>The Writer</em> (2002). The second part of the exhibitions is a retrospective of some 70 lithographic prints made Schreuders between 2003 and 2017.
