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 –’

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’.

With her earliest work, Penny Siopis established herself as one of the most talented and challenging visual artists in and beyond South Africa.

‘I am a tree, so to speak. The trunk is fairly straight and traditional. Where my art has left to go on different excursions there are branches like Pop Art, wood engraving and Ruralism… What I am working on now is in direct line with what preoccupied me years ago; the same fantasies.’-Peter Blake

Peter Fischli and David Weiss are Swiss artists who first began working together in the late 1970s. Their sculpture, video and photographic works all generate a unique atmosphere of concentration and relaxed pleasure. The mood of their work ranges from the humorous – a pair of clay figures, for example, titled Mick Jagger and Brian Jones go home satisfied after composig ‘I Can’t Get No Satisfaction’ – to the banal – a photographic series devoted to Airports – and even the apparently invisible – their Untitled installation simulating, through minutely detailed polyurethane sculptures, an unfinished exhibition site.
