Owusu-Ankomah’s charged paintings on canvas depict an alternate world wherein monumental human figures – his core motif – are shown moving within an ocean of signs that surround, support and, in fact, define them.

For the first time, Penny Siopis’ Shame paintings, produced between 2002 and 2005, are brought together in monographic form as a companion to her new series of Notes, collectively titled Grief. These small mixed media paintings (including mirror paint, oil, enamel, glue, watercolour, paper varnish and found objects) are ‘intimate imaginings of childhood sexuality and dread’.
A catalogue from exhibition of a series of paintings titled ” Aftermath” at Peter Miller Gallery, NYC, by artist Peter Sacks from 12 September – 1 November 2014 Peter Sacks, a South African expatriate, has a biography that is as rich and varied as the art he practises. Having left his native country at a young age and gone on to become a recognised poet with tenure at Harvard, five books of poetry and a study of the English elegy to his name, Sacks stopped writing in the early 2000s and turned to painting instead.
The shifting confluences of poetry and painting elements of narrative, music, metaphor or symbol, as well as those of envisioning and evoking rather than depicting arrive at visual concerns at once bodily, topographical and architectural throughout the work of Peter Sacks.
