The enduring South African landscape works of Nils Anderson, GJ Beukes, WH Coetzer, Erich Mayer, E Seib, and JEA Volschenk are reinterpreted through a diverse group of contemporary artists at UJ Art Gallery’s Liewe Land! III.
Curated by Dineke Orton, the exhibition aims to breath new life into these striking, but silent landscapes, often characterised by their absence of human presence. Liewe Land! III brings together more than 30 artists, each with their own style and conceptual approach, and invites viewers to contemplate the ways in which the South African landscape has been constructed and presented to us over the years.
Featured artists include Anastasia Pather, Annemi Conradie, Balekane Legoabe, Bevan de Wet, Caroline Suzmann, Colin Meyer, Diane Victor, Gordon Froud, Hannelie Coetzee, Henrietta Scholtz, Jaco van Schalkwyk, Jan Maanda Tshikhuthula, Johan Stegmann, Joy, Karin Preller, Kate’Lyn Chetty, Phumulani Ntuli and Elize Vossgätter.
Liewe Land! III opens on Wed, Aug 9 2023 at 11am. RSVP here.
