Out of stockIn this title about a hospital experience the text and visual images offer parallel narratives that resonate poignantly with each other.

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. The way in which these figures coexist and interact with various symbolic sets has developed through distinct phases over time, reflecting Owusu-Ankomah’s own journey of spiritual discovery.

Penny Siopis’ Grief brings together a series of small glue and ink paintings on paper – occasionally with the addition of oil and collage elements – produced over a period of two years following the experience of devastating personal loss. The ‘Notes’ are bought together for the first time, accompanied by a poetic text by the artist that draws on writings by the likes of Mahmoud Darwish, Roland Barthes and Joan Didion on grief, concluding with Emily Dickinson:
‘After great pain, a formal feeling comes –’

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.

This catalogue accompanied the exhibition that ran at Wits Art Museum, Johannesburg, in 2015, entitled Peter Schütz: An Eye On The World, celebrating the late artist’s legacy.
