for the love of the arts

Dear FynArts Supporters

Welcome to the twelfth annual FynArts Festival in Hermanus where the arts are celebrated among friends, families and

like-minded festival goers to embrace creativity, skill, talent and expertise.

A heartfelt thank-you to so many who make this ten-day festival possible. We are grateful to our sponsors, patrons,

lifetime and annual friends for their support. The FynArts Development Fund is the sole beneficiary of the festival,

and promotes the arts throughout the year by initiating projects in our local communities.

The hard work, wise counsel and unstinting moral support of our volunteers and advisors play an invaluable role in

keeping the show on the road as does the support from the media which we value highly.

Our festival cannot flourish without the support of the Overstrand Municipality. We thank them for their assistance

and advice in so many ways during the year.

While these supporters form the foundation of the festival, it is the artists, musicians, performers and presenters who

wear the crown. We appreciate and salute your creativity, skills, talent and expertise that make FynArts a top quality

festival.

Appreciation is also due to the following for their contributions to the festival:

Non-executive Advisory Board: Christopher Hope, Mandie van der Spuy, Richard Cock, and Shado Twala.

Management Committee: David Carter (chairman), Frieda Lloyd, Lincoln Wildschut, Adrian Louw and Nhlanhla

Biyela.

At the end, it is the power of teamwork that brings the festival to fruition. Thank you to Chantel Louskitt for

her integrity, enduring dedication and commitment to everything FynArts (and for her never-failing sense of humour

that gets us through many a challenge), to Hedda Mittner for doing a great job on the programme this year and

for lifting this booklet to another level, and to our festival intern Faith Bokolo, for her enthusiastic support.

Welcome to Hermanus FynArts 2024

In closing, whether you are a seasoned FynArts enthusiast or experiencing the festival for the first time,

it is you who bring the buzz and make it all so worthwhile for everyone. In thanking you, we are pleased to again

offer you a memorable experience filled with joy and inspiration.

Festival regards,

Mary Faure

Old Harbour Sunset Launch Concert

FynArts Festival Programme Launch

in the Old Harbour with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra

In 2022, FynArts celebrated its 10th festival with the first unrestricted audiences since 2020. This double milestone

called for a spectacular event. A ‘WOW!’ as Jans Rautenbach, the renowned South African filmmaker, and the first

recipient of the FynArts Legacy Award, would have called it.

Thanks to the goodwill and generosity of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and their talented musicians –

and the iconic setting – that first concert was certainly a WOW! It was followed by an equally successful event in 2023,

marking the launch of the festival programme and the opening of bookings.

We are deeply grateful to Pam Golding Properties Hermanus and the Golding Family for their generous support in

making it possible to present the Old Harbour Concert for the second time last year – and again this year, 2024.

There is surely no more joyful way to celebrate the arts and the launch of the festival programme.

Opening Concert

With the FynArts Festival Orchestra and soloist Emmanuel Bach (violin) conducted by Richard Cock

Hermanus FynArts is thrilled to present the outstanding

young violinist, Emmanuel Bach, who will be joining

the FynArts Festival Orchestra for the Opening Concert.

Based in the UK, Emmanuel regularly performs with

esteemed conductors in Europe, the UK, USA and

South Africa, including at the Johannesburg

International Mozart Festival.

The concert starts with the short and bustling Symphony

no 4 by Mozart, followed by his Violin Concerto no 5.

The most elaborate and mature of Mozart’s five violin

concertos, this piece contains Turkish episodes, linking

it to the Turkish invasion of Austria, and Janissary military

music… Mozart was always at the forefront of innovation!

After the interval the orchestra plays Schubert’s charming

Symphony no 5, the joyful and most popular of his early

symphonies.

Bringing together the sublime polyphonic textures of

the Renaissance with spirited folk songs and music

another stand-out performance from a choir that has

gained a reputation for imaginative programming and

innovative performances of seldom-heard or new choral

work.

This unusual trio of flute, marimba/vibraphone and

cello creates a truly unique sound world with which

the musicians explore repertoire from the Baroque

through to Piazzolla’s tangos.

A versatile group of musicians, they seamlessly

incorporate improvisation and contemporary music to

Reconnecting with his South African roots, UK-based

violinist Emmanuel Bach, accompanied by Jenny Stern

on piano, offers three highly expressive yet very different

works in this recital.

Taking their audience to the gateway to Romanticism

with Beethoven’s Tenth Sonata, you’ll be transported into

a world of sincerity, tenderness and, finally, joy. It is a work

of great thoughtfulness, but also optimism, marking

a pinnacle within his chamber music.

This is followed by Bloch’s extraordinary Second Sonata,

Poème mystique, an intense work inspired by a dream.

The recital concludes with a celebrated showpiece

by Saint-Saëns – his virtuosic Introduction and Rondo

Capriccioso.

and Nerina von Mayer (flute)

Performances

Acclaimed organist and pianist Winand brings his own

interpretation of the legendary Danish-American

comedian and musician Victor Borge’s oeuvre to the

FynArts Festival. The legacy of Victor Borge (1909 – 2000)

stretches far and wide and has influenced countless

artists over the past decades.

Winand has had several sold-out performances of this

carefully curated and highly entertaining tribute show

– a breakthrough production that aims to establish him

in a genre that has made artists like Charl du Plessis,

Rocco de Villiers, and Jonathan Roxmouth household

names. Be prepared for the unexpected and many bursts

of laughter.

Grateful thanks to Ton and Anet Vosloo, Patrons of

FynArts, for their generous sponsorship of this concert.

Put the troubled world aside and join three of Cape

Town’s top musicians for an uplifting evening of

beautiful music inspired by legend and fantasy.

Albie, Pam and Nerina have collaborated for several

years as Viviamo per L’Arte (We Live for Art).

The trio’s programme will include their arrangement

of Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite for Piano and Two Flutes.

Enter Ravel’s magical, mystical, mysterious world –

Sleeping Beauty’s Pavane, the Empress of the Pagodas

breathing all the perfumes of the gorgeous East, the

Enchanted Garden. In Bach’s sublime Double Concerto,

the heavenly spirits tread their joyous round, and you’ll

be dazzled by Bizet’s Carmen Variations and Clarke’s

transcendent Maya.

WED 12 15:00 – 16:00 and 18:30 – 19:30

Pieces of Me

Written and Performed by Bo Petersen,

with Chris Petersen on piano

Join these three talented musicians from three different

generations on a musical journey. Together they perform

songs that young and old have grown to love, with

rhythms crossing generations of boundaries, interwoven

with stories that inspire.

The Generation Gaps is a culmination of talent and

artistry audiences can’t resist. Hanna’s deep, sultry voice

and unique storytelling ability, acclaimed jazz pianist

Bram’s quirky nature and moving arrangements, and

Wesley’s impeccable interpretation of soul and rhythm

will ensure that no one is left untouched by this

performance.

After several performances in America and Norway,

acclaimed South African actress Bo Petersen, currently

living in the US, brings her powerful autobiographical play

to FynArts for its South African premiere.

Bo was nineteen years old when she uncovered her

father’s torturous secret. Classified as coloured, he lived

as a white man after marrying Bo’s mother and never told

his wife or any of their five children about his true identity.

It was a secret that, if uncovered, would have had dire

consequences for all of them.

Directed by Royston Stoffels and produced by Assitej

SA in association with The Living Theatre.

based on the work of authors Gavin Watkins and Charles

Skinner, who spent 25 years researching and writing

The Sculptures of Sydney Kumalo and Ezrom Legae

— A Catalogue Raisonné,

published by Strauss & Co.

These artists exhibited

broadly in South Africa,

England, Italy and the

Diane Victor

Prints, Drawings, Smoke

Gordon Froud

Diane Victor is an artist of

uncompromising directness, known

for her provocative images that

confront difficult, sometimes taboo,

subjects. Her satirical observations

are a biting critique on contemporary

South African society, on political

corruption, violence, gender

inequality and economic exploitation.

Artist and curator Gordon will talk

about the work of this important

artist, and the new monograph,

Diane Victor – Prints, Drawings,

Smoke, published by Mare & Martin,

Paris. He will also touch on her

upcoming museum shows in

Dunkirk, Gravelines and Angouleme

in France, and on her works made

at the Atelier le Grand Village.

Are Art and Science

Good Bedfellows?

Mike Bruton

Mike, a scientist with a strong

affinity for art, will discuss the

changing relationship between art

and science through the ages. He will

argue that art and science are two

of humankind’s most creative

endeavours. As they are both

important agents of change,

they benefit from collaboration

and co-opetition without losing

their integrity.

Mike will give examples, inter alia,

of how mathematicians have

inspired artists and how artists,

from painters and writers to actors

and musicians, have helped scientists

to communicate urgent scientific

messages to the public.

The Lost City of

Alexander the Great

Hamilton Wende

This presentation by Strauss & Co

fine art specialist Kayleen will be

an exploration into the history

of flowers in both classical and

botanical art.

It promises to be a delightful

discovery of world trade, passion,

Overberg members over the years.

The numbers of Bateleurs have

decreased by 50% over the past forty

years, with less than one thousand

Felicity Jervis

Felicity reveals her ancestral home

waltzing through years of fame,

power, glory, social scandals, music,

art and intellectual brilliance, rising

liberalism but growing racism,

secession, assassinations and

invasions, as the great Austrian

Empire stumbled towards wars

and degeneracy.

Story of the City of Music and

The Creation

of Sissinghurst

Margaret Abbott

One of the most famous of all

English gardens, Sissinghurst was

created by Vita Sackville-West,

an Edwardian lady, poet and writer

and her husband Harold Nicolson,

author and diplomat. She was more

famous for her garden than any of

her many books.

Delving into her colourful and

unconventional past as well as

her flamboyant family, Vita was as

well known for her lovers as for

her remarkable garden.

Today Sissinghurst is the most visited

garden in all of England and it is still

breathtaking as well as original,

just like its creator.

Kutlwano Masote began as a brilliant

young cellist. He is today a performer,

producer, conductor, impresario,

composer and radio presenter.

He has worked with a dizzying range

of musical artists, from Ladysmith

Black Mambazo to Yehudi Menuhin.

And it is his association with Yehudi

Menuhin, also a great friend of

Christopher Hope, that begins

a conversation about what it takes

to make a successful musical career:

talent, courage and sheer damn luck.

The Stories

behind Hymns

Bevan Sylvester

Hymns hold a special place in the

hearts and lives of many people.

Sacred songs have been written

throughout history. Through them

people find solace, inspiration and

a profound connection to something

greater than themselves.

If you have ever wondered about

the story behind so many well-loved

hymns – why they were written and

under what circumstances – then

join Bevan, the new minister

at the United Church, who will share

this topic that is close to his heart.

This session will include some music

and song.

Blood

and Silver

Jan Glazewski

As a retired academic, Jan decided

to pursue his childhood dream to

recover the family silver buried in a

forest in former Poland, now Ukraine.

Jan’s father had hastily buried the

treasure on the family’s estate at the

onset of World War II, before fleeing

the oncoming Russian army – and

eventually ending up in South Africa.

Armed only with a rough map

hand-drawn by his father, and

accompanied by two dubious

Ukrainian metal detector men and

his niece, Layla, Jan set off in search

of the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Many misadventures ensued, as well

as unexpected discoveries.

Orchestral

Ambitions

Kutlwano Masote

Between WWII and 1994, black

artists living under Apartheid were

deliberately excluded from

participating in orchestral music

and other Western classical arts.

While white South Africans were

benefiting from state-sponsored arts

programmes, it was left to church

programmes and music centres

championed by black pioneers

to keep music education and

instrument tuition active.

Conductor, cellist and broadcaster

Kutlwano will look at how musicians

from these projects went on to

conquer international music stages,

who the new pioneers are, and how

we can work towards building

a thriving orchestral landscape.

Early Cape Wine Farms:

Constantia and Vergenoegd

Joanne Gibson

While researching the history of

Vergenoegd Löw, award-winning

wine writer Joanne realised that

this remarkably intact old Eerste

River wine farm was owned during

the 18th century by the same family

who produced Constantia, the worldfamous

wine enjoyed by the likes of

Casanova, Frederick the Great, Marie

Antoinette and George Washington.

Although official records suggest

that Vergenoegd did not produce any

wine during this period, 18th-century

art and architecture have helped her

to prove a conspiracy theory about

legendary Constantia wine.

Africans will want to know whether

we have the political leadership in

place to cope with the impact of key

geopolitical shifts.

Do we need to decide whether

to choose between East and West,

or is it safe to sit on the fence for

another five years? And why should

we care about where South Africa

stands in the face of these dynamic

changes in global politics?

Castaways

on Skeleton Coast

James Gray

On the night of 29 November 1942,

the British cargo liner the MV

Dunedin Star was shipwrecked

while making its way down the west

coast of Africa with 106 souls on

board. Against the odds the

passengers managed to make it

to the desolate shore, leaving most

of the crew floundering on the fatally

wounded ship.

What happened thereafter was

drama on the highest scale as

the South African authorities

scrambled to reach this Godforsaken,

inaccessible upper region

of the Skeleton Coast. James Gray

brings his story-telling skills to bear

on this epic rescue mission.

SUN 16 11:00 – 12:00

Growing

Legends

Nick Dall and Matthew Blackman

South Africa has a long tradition

of people who fought courageously

with deeds, words and olive

branches, to enable us to share

this land in peace. We often think of

Mandela’s political genius as unique:

a mix of force, negotiation, charm

and conciliation. But authors Nick

and Matthew will argue that this

tradition grew from the rich political

soils laid long before Mandela was

born – and is still alive today.

From Moshoeshoe, Olive Schriener

and Gandhi, to Cissie Gool, Sailor

Malan, and Steve Biko, right through

to Thuli Madonsela, the Mandela

approach of combative conciliation

makes South Africa almost exclusively

unique.

SUN 16 15:00 – 16:00

The South African

Musical

Norman Smuts

With its strong theatrical and choral

traditions, South Africa has enjoyed

remarkable success in the universally

popular world entertainment field

that is the musical.

In this all-encompassing presentation

of original/indigenous South African

musicals, Norman will display the

background to these achievements.

He will also look at how this art form

reflects the culture and history of the

various peoples of our nation and

how it was instrumental in changing

the country’s political landscape.

The End of Eden

Adam Welz

Penny will talk to fellow author Gail

Gilbride about her latest historical

novel. The Woman at the Wheel is

based on the real life of Bertha Benz,

whose husband Carl built the first

commercially-viable automobile,

which eventually evolved into the

Mercedes-Benz marque.

Like so many other women, Bertha

lived largely in her husband’s

shadow, but her contributions are

now celebrated in this inspiring story

of perseverance, resilience, and love.

Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance

was discovered perfectly preserved

below the Antarctic ice in 2022,

106 years after it sank. Darrel

Bristow-Bovey has had a personal

connection to Endurance ever since

his father first told him that he sailed

south with Shackleton.

History enthusiast James Gray will

talk to Darrel about this stirring story,

interwoven with very personal

memoir to tell an inspiring tale

about hope and great beauty, about

how to love and how to survive.

Most media coverage of climate

breakdown focuses on humans.

Very little attention is paid to its

effects on the millions of wild

species that share the planet with us,

even though most of them are more

vulnerable than we are.

Adam will talk to environmental

historian Kobus du Pisani about this

controversial book, described by the

New York Times as “disturbing and

important… a calm depiction of

catastrophe, as if Vermeer had

decided to paint some kind of

terrifying slow-motion atrocity.”

In 1899, four Boer brothers rode off

to war. Remarkably, three of them

kept diaries. In Bullet In the Heart,

Beverley has retrieved the forgotten

fates of these brothers in war.

In 1986, seven young men were shot

and killed by police in Gugulethu in

Cape Town. In Hunting the Seven,

the author reveals who plotted

their assassination.

Christopher will talk to Beverley

about how both books celebrate

the saving grace of memory. Only by

reviving these forgotten lives do we

remember who we are.

Chosen as the best vegan cookbook

in the world for 2023 at the

Gourmand World Cookbook Awards,

this treasure of a book, co-written by

Isabella and Louis Jansen van Vuuren,

weaves together a rich tapestry of

tales with delicious, easy-to-make

recipes from the organic plant world.

Gerrie Heyneke, fellow foodie, will be

in conversation with Isabella about

her food journey, from her famous

‘Duinhuis langtafels’ in Langebaan,

to Louis’ chateau in rural France,

and now her new life in Riebeek

Kasteel.

New South Africa

– New Censors

Christopher Hope

Despite international warnings, the

South African Parliament has passed

new legislation that stifles the free

expression of ideas, under the pretext

of stamping out ‘hate speech’. This

censorship promises to be as absurd

and as draconian as any we knew

under the old regime.

It is all too familiar because we have

been here before.

With criminal penalties being

imposed on broad and ill-defined

categories of expression, speaking or

writing the ‘wrong words’ could land

you in jail for years.

Community Outreach

This beautifully illustrated seminar

will celebrate the birds of

the Overberg by highlighting

our fynbos and coastal endemics.

A few top birding destinations like

the Overberg Wheatbelt, Rooiels,

Harold Porter Botanical Gardens

and Fernkloof Nature Reserve will

be discussed practically by featuring

the birds that one can expect to find

there.

This presentation will illustrate why

the Overberg is regarded as such

a top bird-watching destination.

Three regional conservation

campaigns in view of protecting

our birds and their habitats will also

be highlighted.

Join Zandré, artist and founder

of Claystax, and learn how to make

dynamic clay jewellery, from start to

finish. She will show you how to work

with polymer clay to make five pairs

of statement earrings that will be

ready to wear in just a few hours.

Zandré takes a fresh, contemporary

approach to this classic craft.

You will learn the techniques of

terrazzo, marble and texturing,

as well as about colour theory,

baking, assembling, and after-care.

All materials will be provided and

no experience is needed.

The Jazzart Outreach Programme

is the embodiment of the Jazzart

philosophy and commitment

to social change through dance.

The programme aims to implement

artistic interventions to expose

children and youth from

marginalised communities to

the arts. In doing so, they encourage

participation and promote the

appreciation, understanding and

enjoyment of the arts. Young people

are given the opportunity to be

creative and strengthen their

confidence and choices about

their bodies.

Two sessions of Chef Demonstrations are offered daily in the FynArts pop-up

from Mon to Fri. In most of the morning sessions, chefs will demonstrate

vegetarian or vegan dishes, while the afternoon sessions cater for omnivores.

The five days have been divided into five courses, kicking off with starters on

Mon, soups on Tues, fish/seafood entrees on Wed, main courses on Thurs and

desserts on Fri.

All Rolled Up

Rosemarie Saunders

People have become more conscious of the benefits of healthy eating, and

those with dietary restrictions and preferences are no longer the exception.

Which is why vegans, vegetarians, and people with food intolerances are all

catered for this year, both in the Demos and the Workshops..

Venue: United Church Hall


Well known throughout the Cape

for her inspiring cookery courses,

Rosemarie will be demonstrating

Filled Vegetable Roulades.

Traditionally found in various

European cuisines, roulade has been

a popular dish since the 18th century.

These attractive and delicious

vegetarian roulades can be served

hot or cold for a first course or as

a canapé. They delight not only

the taste buds, but also the eye.

Vegetarian has never been easier

or more delicious. Caterer, food

consultant and cookbook author

the traditional Japanese dish

of Ramen, you are missing out!

Much more than a soup, it is a bowl

of deliciousness bursting with rich

umami flavours.

Well-known local chef Wander will

show you how to make a restaurant

quality Ramen in the home kitchen,

ready for dinner, using ingredients

that are easily available from your

every-day shop.

author, passionate humanitarian.

These are only a few of the epithets

attributed to David.

Nasya is part of the culinary team

at the award-winning tasting room

Ridge that continues to push culinary

boundaries.

Bella will demonstrate the best

of sardines.

Simplicity is important. As is layering.

These are the foundations that help

you achieve a sensation of tastes.

We are delighted that he will

once again present a cooking

demonstration. This time his main

ingredient will be fish.

While preparing his fish dish,

David will share tips, not only on

how to cook fish, but also on issues

such as sustainability.

The vegetarian main course she will

be demonstrating is a Falafel

Buddha Bowl brimming with fresh,

local, vibrant South African flavours.

Inspired by nature’s seasonal

produce, she will use spinach,

coriander, buckwheat, guacamole,

a herb pesto and lime-marinated

zucchini ribbons to create a dish

that is a dance between health

and indulgence.

with far more limited ingredients.

The important part, says

your ingredients – and the chutzpah

to combine new, interesting tastes.

FynArts Development Fund

Promoting the arts across cultures 174 582 NPO | PBO 930070839

FynArts community programmes serve an increasing number of practising and aspiring creatives living in Zwelihle,

Mount Pleasant and Hawston through the FynArts Development Fund, sole beneficiary of the FynArts Festival. The main

objective of the Fund is to promote the arts through education and skills development, and to provide opportunities for

young people across a diverse range of disciplines to showcase their art.

We continue to enjoy our collaboration with teachers from most of the local primary schools. We especially appreciate

their support in fostering the love of singing together, and the joy the concert brings to their packed audiences. More

recently we have joined forces with staff and learners at the Creative Space and with the CBD Revitalisation Cluster.

Events and workshops for individuals and small groups of creatives continue to grow. Monthly networking and support

‘coffee mornings’ for visual artists have also been initiated. After this year’s festival similar support for performing artists

is being planned.

Workshop: making collages

sculptures, ‘Equus’, is based on

the mythical relationship between

humans and horses. The sculptures

are conceived and constructed

from dried bull kelp collected from

surrounding beaches, before being

moulded and cast.

Ian Redelinghuys

Ian creates sculptures from

a selection of repurposed metal

scrap, chopped, crushed, cut,

and accidentally formed, in

an abstracted processional whole.

This work invites contemplation

on themes of transformation and

impermanence.

Gordon Froud

Gordon is an artist, curator and

academic known for his use

of a wide range of materials and

found objects. His recent bodies

of work explore Sacred Geometry

as sculptural form.

Nkhensani Rihlampfu

Nkhensani’s work celebrates

humanity and the situations that

we overcome. Seeking to comment

on social, political and personal

issues, he focuses on human

figures, using calico rope as

his sculpting medium.

Wehrner Lemmer

Wehrner’s work portrays the intense

calm that nature affords him.

The tubular curves present in many

of his works represent the cycles

of life, both human but more so

the natural world.

Jaco Sieberhagen

Jaco combines steel and

colour to create his own distinct

visual vocabulary through which

he gives form to his thoughts and

observations, to take the visitor

to a space where they will pause

to observe and contemplate.

60

Paul Stein

In his work Paul aims to alter

the static nature of sculpture,

suggesting movement by

the interplay of forms, challenging

the viewer to use their imagination

and thus form a connection with

the work.

Strijdom van der Merwe

Strijdom’s sculptures result

from years of observation,

experimentation and knowledge

of material. Each site presents

its own challenges. An artist must

adapt and as much as possible,

each piece must be site specific.

Mark Swart

Mark works to create a balance

between the spiritual and physical

world. His philosophy is that form

follows function. He uses only

the essential lines in his design,

uniting imagination and sensation

with physical matter.

Francois Visser

Francois is best known for his

figurative sculptures and recurring

thematic symbolism. His narrative

works explore transcendental

thought through materials such as

bronze, aluminium, ceramic, steel,

wood and cement.

Jean Theron Louw

“The purpose of my work is

to awaken a consciousness of

our connectivity with the planet as

a whole. I want to draw my viewer

into moments of self-reflection

– soul searching – for this is what

makes us truly human.”

FynArts – Festival Artist

Mikhael Subotzky

Photographer

Curated by Subotzky Studio

and Goodman Gallery

“At the heart of my work is a fixation with

revealing the gap between what is

presented (and idealised) and what is

hidden, coupled with a desire to pull apart

and reassemble the schizophrenia of

contemporary existence”.

Mikhael’s first body of photographic work,

Die Vier Hoeke (The Four Corners), was

an in-depth study of the South African

penal system. Umjiegwana (The Outside)

and Beaufort West extended this

investigation to the relationship between

everyday life in post-apartheid South Africa

and the historical, spatial, and institutional

structures of control.

His works are found in public and private

collections around the world including

the MoMA, Centre Georges Pompidou,

Tate Modern and South African National

Galleries (SANG), among others.

This exhibition draws from his early

photographic works as well as more recent

related collage and works on canvas.

Mikhael was born in 1981 in Cape Town,

South Africa, and is currently based in

Johannesburg.

Opening: SAT 8 June at 14:00

Guest Speaker: Bina Genovese

Venue: FynArts Gallery

Mikhael Subotzky’s works are the results of his

fractured attempts to place himself in relation to the

social, historical, and political narratives that surround

him.

As an artist working in film, video installation and

photography, as well as more recently in collage

and painting, Subotzky engages critically with

contemporary politics of representation.

We are grateful to the Goodman Gallery for

their support and collaboration.

Chromatic Clay

Curated by Liz Coates

Firing a pot or other artwork is the

point of no return. What happens in

the kiln is irreversible and, to a large

extent, unpredictable. Until it enters

the kiln, clay can be reclaimed,

broken up, soaked, and reformed

into raw material, but in the kiln clay

becomes ceramic.

In the following pages you will

view some of the unique ceramic

artworks created by twelve highly

skilled contemporary artists.

Each has their own artistic approach

and specific language to address

their audience in the way they

want their work to speak and

to communicate their own

distinctive meaning.

Catherine Brennon

Through her artwork Catherine

pursues a connection with people

beyond her circle, her culture, or

her spoken language. She wants

to move her viewers, and remind

them how wonderful nature and

life are.

Sandile Cele

Sandile, simultaneously playful

and culturally layered, presents

an authentic and original voice.

Isiqhaza represents the fusion

of traditional lifestyle and rituals

embodied in artefacts, together

with sculptural forms and

functional objects.

Mark Chapman

Mark’s work is fun and whimsical,

a combination of cartoon and

Pop Art. ‘This body of work is

all about colour. Fun without

boundaries to bring a smile to

the faces of the viewers.’

66

Ella Cronje

Through Ella’s consistent interest

in myths, fables and legends

she allows the unexpected to guide

her into a fantastic psychological

arena – a fertile mind-space that

facilitates the continuous birth of

highly intricate symbolic sculptures.

Gretchen Crots

Gretchen’s work challenges

the rules of conduct surrounding

femininity and masculinity,

identity, morality, and authority.

Her use of profanities, sayings

and opinions lure in her audience

through a striking image and

vibrant colour.

Dale Lambert

Dale is a contemporary ceramic

artist who has a clear vision

of the colours and forms that

inspire her. Her aim is to create

vessels that are beautiful and

unique.

Carin Dorrington

Whether ceramic vases or

sculptures, Carin’s bold form and

bright, contrasting colour are

playful representations of everyday

objects, plant forms, organic

and abstract shapes that bring joy

and brightness into any space.

Adela Friedmann

Adela creates whimsical

characters that emerge from

her subconscious. These quirky

figurines in stoneware clay and

underglazes reveal underlying

truths about aspects of this world

while simultaneously delighting

the audience in unexpected ways.

Charmaine Haines

Charmaine works primarily

with vessels within the realm of

figurative clay embracing classical

shapes. The embellished clay

surface is further enhanced by

simplified abstractions of nature,

together with line, colour and

texture.


Sonia Kastner

Sonja is currently exploring

the process of photo lithographic

printing. This technique allows

her to combine her love of design

and colour to produce one-off

quirky works with hidden

messages about the things

that inspire her.

Hennie Meyer

For Hennie, clay is a passion

and obsession, and his preferred

means of communication.

‘Finding the perfect balance

between form, surface and

structure is always a challenge,

an emotional struggle.’

Margot Rudolph

Margot draws inspiration from

Africa’s vibrancy. She uses

stoneware clay and the traditional

coiling technique combined with

colourful stains to capture Africa’s

vibrancy as she creates unique

works of art.

Exhibitions – Bonsai

Venue: The Marine Hotel Courtyard – Pool area

Open: Daily from 8 – 17 June from 09:00 – 17:00

View these magnificent specimens of an ancient art form that was first introduced from

China to Japan in the 6th to 7th century. This fine art is now recognised globally.

The exhibition will include a selection of some of the finest Bonsai trees from the region,

all locally grown in the Overstrand. A diverse range of planting styles and species will be on

display, with many species being indigenous to South Africa.

The Japanese word Bonsai literally means ‘plantings in tray’ although the modern meaning

of the word goes a bit further: ‘miniature, artistic tree in a pot’. (Master Bonsai – Rudi Adam)

Kujira or ‘whale’ in Japanese is the apt name for the Bonsai Club in the Overstrand. Some local bonsai experts will

be in attendance to discuss how to join the bonsai club, get involved, fall in love with the little trees, or to just enjoy

the exhibition.

There is also a Beginner’s Bonsai Workshop at the Eatery Restaurant on WED 12 June (see details on P36).

Booking essential.
