Ground Art Caffé is a continental coffee bar and micro art gallery, exhibiting new and emerging artists with openings every two months.
“I feel that human beings are often more visual than we realize. Don't believe me? Think about that moment when the visual anatomy of a human face instantly catches our attention; How the colour of a garment completely changes our perception of it; Or when a stunning sunset makes you feel in awe of nature’s beauty. Experiences like these are part of why I believe art can be more than only a pretty picture. It can bring out emotions from within us when we find that artwork we connect with.
"That artwork" could be related to a memory you want to relive, a dream you hope to fulfil one day, or simply a painting of a beautiful view you wish to have from your window.
Since I moved to Cape Town I have fallen in love with the mountains and Fynbos, and decided to explore painting landscapes for this exhibition. This collection, ‘Escape, Without Leaving Home’, consists of landscapes throughout SA and neighbouring countries like Namibia, showing the exquisite beauty of our natural environment.
I hope one of these works will give you a moment of joy each time you look at it, just like it gave me joy when I created it.”
The exhibition is on display from 03 October to 04 December 2024.
