ART • EXHIBITIONS AND WORKSHOPS Casa Labia Gallery presents ‘Perception’ A solo show from Lakeside artist Lyn Gilbert Date : Time : Venue : Info : until mid-April Tuesday to Sunday 10am – 4pm 192 Main Road, Muizenberg casalabia.co.za * 021 788 6062 Lyn Gilbert studied Fine Art at the University of Pietermaritzburg, graduating in 1963. She then went on to have a career in illustration. Gilbert returned to her Fine Art path completing a Master’s Degree in 1983 at Rhodes University while balancing being a single parent to two boys and working as an art facilitator in the greater rural Eastern Cape. For the last decade Gilbert has finally found the space to dedicate herself full time to her painting. This body of work is a culmination of a life-time of experience and processing. Eschewing the idea of working from a preconceived notion, Gilbert arrives at each blank canvas allowing the subconscious to guide brush mark, colour and form; and to direct the image and theme. The exhibition falls into allegorical figurative and symbolic compositions and landscapes. Gilbert’s approach is to be in the environment, to absorb and later within the studio, that which was experienced sensually, is distilled into a new form – a landscape of the mind. The Cape Gallery Date : 6 March – 29 March Venue : 60 Church Street, Cape Town Info : 021 423 5309 * [email protected] * capegallery.co.za PARTICIPATING ARTISTS INCLUDE: Tyrone Appollis, Kenneth Baker, Patrick Cordingley, Christopher Mafafo, Charles Maleka, Billy Mandindi, Philip Mbusi, Vuyisani Mgijima, Solomon Siko, Gerald Tabata, Meshack Tembani, Tyrrel Thaysen and Mandla Vanyaza The Cape Gallery has put together a selection of work by a group of artists who capture the faces, laughter and energy that make up Cape Town’s labyrinth of life. Cape Town’s culture is unmistakable. From the sun setting as Table Mountain is covered by its white sheath to the drone of busses, taxis and trains around the city centre; the local hairdressers, businesses and corner shops; Friday night fish and chips; smileys; the music and neighbourly conversations over fences and washing lines.
