RK Contemporary bridges the gap between contemporary art and its audience, with galleries in both Riebeek Kasteel and central Cape Town.
Achromatic Earth, an exhibition that captures the essence of the natural world through a palette stripped of bold colour, highlighting only the raw, organic tones found in earth itself. This curated collection presents artworks in shades of charcoal, clay, sandstone, and muted whites, each piece evoking the textures and patterns that lie beneath vibrant landscapes.
The exhibition’s pieces span various mediums— bronze sculptures, ceramics, charcoal sketches and paintings rendered in chalky greys and warm beiges. These artworks come together to form a meditative journey, where visitors are drawn to see nature in its purest, most elemental form.
Through Achromatic Earth, viewers are invited to pause and immerse themselves in a world distilled to the basics—a place where the absence of colour reveals the beauty of earth’s subtler tones and shapes.
Hennie Meyer, Hannalie Taute, Jaco Benade, Lizette Visser, Mariette Gregor, Michaela Rinaldi, Monique Day-Wilde, Tanya Majo, Wilma Cruise
The exhibition is on display from 07 November to 30 November 2024.
