"Migration" by Floris van Zyl, Cally Lotz, and Sue Physick 8 - 27 August 2011
A show of (the latest) contemporary works by 3 local artists at Durban’s artSPACE durban. Floris Van Zyl, Cally Lotz, and Sue Physick will present an exhibition of conceptualized mixed media artworks entitled Migration.
It will be the first opportunity for the public to view works presented by these 3 artists together in one exhibition. With familiar elements in each work, Migration will present a story of a physical, spiritual and historical journey.
"CUT" by Robert S. Bolter 8 - 27 August 2011
Bolter’s art is autobiographical, biographical and metaphorical for
deliberate or accidental cutting. It can be representative of
microscopic neural imaging, or the abstraction of his universe. It
remains true to abstraction in that it is very subjective and can be
positive or negative for the viewer. Cutting is not always
perfect, especially when perfection is what you are aiming for with a
cut. You can approach a perfect image or state and can get something
different and improved on what you intended.

Bolter works thickly in oil paints, because of its organic nature which runs
though the work, creating a relief that he then, once dried, cuts with a
fillet blade, exposing shapes, layers and colour. The use of the
technique of cutting is reflective of the accidental, purposeful,
harmful and healing nature of a cut.
