“Mondays” – Garret
Artists Exhibition in conjunction with Ceramics SA KZN Regional
The group was started by Jeanette Gilks in 1989, and after
her retirement from Garret Artists 3 years ago, they have continued to work
together on a weekly basis using Jeanette’s techniques and methods.
After a very successful exhibition with Ceramics SA in 2010
and 2011, the Garret Artists have once again been invited to exhibit in 2012,
showing their innovative and exciting work from the past year.
"Protea" paintings by Janine Holloway - Middle Gallery
It was the tactile, sculptural
nature of proteas that first drew me to
them as a subject for a series of paintings. Their unique qualities and
visual intricacies lend protea to different renderings, therefore, my
exploration with them in diverse applications and styles, lead to the
creative process becoming as important as the final outcome.
Painting with acrylic on board has enabled a new immediacy and
spontaneity in my work. Experimentation with various materials including
filler, felt, stencils and a range of unconventional utensils such as
squeegees, silicone brushes, and sandpaper has added dimensional
complexity and interest to the surface of the works.
The freedom and playfulness I employ during the creative process
translates into energy, vitality and life in my work, hence my new,
contemporary take on the traditional botanic theme.
