“Painters who Print”

An exhibition, “Painters who Print”, will be opened at the Association of Arts Pretoria by Andre Naude on Friday 25 March 2011 at 18:30 for 19:00. This is an exciting exhibition that celebrates some of the eminent artists who have worked at The Artists’ Press.

It is a well-known fact that artists who are primarily painters also tend to create the most exceptional graphic art. Drawing and a strong graphic sense are the techniques that most associate with the world of original prints. Again, in painting it is often the gesture of the mark making, the sizzling quality of the colours and subtle moods that paint, handled by an expert, can capture. However, graphic art and painting are not completely distinct from each other. The work to be shown at this exhibition reveals aspects of the alchemy of painting and graphic art.

Come and see “landscapes” through the eyes of Kim Berman and Karin Daymond, studies of the human form and its frailties in the work of Johann Louw and Robert Hodgins. Examine social issues with Penny Siopis and Judith Mason and wonder into the world of archetypes and the occasionally mythical with Deborah Bell and Colbert Mashile. Look at “women” with Pat Mautloa and André Naudé.

A walkabout will be conducted on Saturday 9 April 2011 at 11:00.
