At Candice Berman Gallery, we view the world with a curious eye – a curiosity that drives our selection of artists. Our fascination is with the cultural and personal narratives behind the works, which the artists infuse into their expressions. We believe it’s our calling to support the development of our artists and create novel opportunities for their work to be shared with the country and the world.
The gallery was established in 2013, and is now located at the new 223 Jan Smuts Creative Hub alongside Berman Contemporary, The Creatory, Magicode | USM, Something Good Studio, and Romaria.
ILÉ, a Yoruba word meaning "home," is a poignant exploration of the quest for belonging, identity, and inner peace. ILÉ (THIS IS HOME) explores the notion that home is not just a physical space, but a sense of belonging within oneself. Through charcoal, acrylic, and oil paintings, Solomon Omogboye delves into the complexities of finding one's way back to the essence of self.
Inspired by personal experiences, cultural heritage, and the human condition, this body of work navigates life's twists and turns. Children often appear as central subjects, symbolising innocence, vulnerability, and resilience. Their presence reminds us that home is where our journeys begin and end.
The exhibition is on display from 26 October to 26 January 2025.
