Modern and Contemporary Art from southern Africa

05/03/2025

OPENING FRIDAY 14 MARCH⁠
⁠
JEANNE HOFFMAN | STIRRING UP CERTAINTIES ⁠
&⁠
JOHN MURRAY | RESURFACE⁠
⁠
Everard Read London is delighted to present two concurrent solo exhibitions by contemporary South African painters.⁠
⁠
John Murray moves between representational and nonrepresentational forms, finding significance in the contrasting states between the tangible and the imperceptible, playfulness and seriousness.⁠
⁠
In Jeanne Hoffman’s work, fragments of multiple perspectives and memories lend themselves to a collage of many viewpoints, captured, for a moment, by the limits of the canvas and the artist’s particular choices. These material borrowings from disparate realities spill over into one another’s territory, instigating conversations. ⁠

⁠
Featuring ceramic work by ⁠LUCINDA MUDGE⁠
⁠
Work details:⁠ Some People, ceramic and gold lustre, 51 cm⁠
⁠
Lucinda Mudge’s extraordinary vases captivate the eye with their rich colours and intricate detail. Yet beneath their glimmering surfaces is a familiar world simmering with paranoia and tension. Both a visual and a socio-political record, her collection of vases draws inspiration from a wide variety of references, including cartoons, pop songs, fabric designs and Art Deco vase patterns, resulting in whimsical collisions of the popular and refined, the mundane and elevated, the violent and the beautiful.⁠

⁠
Featuring ⁠ARON DEMETZ
⁠
The process of working with wood is the foundation of Demetz’s oeuvre and aesthetic. Using an ancient woodcarving technique that originated in the 17th century in South Tyrol, Demetz explores the possibilities and limitations of wood as a material and celebrates its textures and ability for transformation by deploying a range of innovative techniques, including controlled burning, lacerating the wood or applying layers of natural resin. Indeed, his sculptures evoke themes of injury and healing; of metamorphosis.

MATTER MATTERS | ARTISTS & THEIR MEDIA⁠
⁠
Featuring ⁠MARK RAUTENBACH⁠
⁠
Rautenbach works in a variety of media, including material which is considered waste matter, as well as textiles and paper. His practice is often process-based, and draws on traditional craft techniques. ⁠
The textural languages he uses guides his creative procedures by inviting consideration of their inherent potential and associations. ⁠
Through ritualistic repetition – drawing on the arcane and everyday, the collective and personal – Rautenbach uses his meditative works to embody psychological and cultural patterns, giving form to invisible spaces.⁠
Physical conglomerations – whether of thread, steel safety pins or glass – symbolise emotional connections.⁠

⁠
Featuring ⁠WILMA CRUISE
⁠
‘Cruise’s sculptures, etchings, drawings, and writing jointly thematise the process of making art – something both physical and mindful; involving materials near at hand, yet also artistic solutions that seem way out of reach. The different materials Cruise beats, cuts, pushes into, and inflicts with stains, marks, bruises and imprints insist themselves as thick matter.’
– Gerhard Schoeman, art historian, writer & critic

⁠
Featuring ⁠MAJA MARX

‘With the traditional approach to compositional painting there is the
comfort of having something for your eyes to perch on, and as visual beings, we desire that perch. We take a breather. We sit on it with our eyes, as a bird that would want to sit on something. It’s a moment for rest. And with my work, I never allow that. When I paint, I’m actively looking. ‘

⁠
Featuring ⁠KILMANY-JO LIVERSAGE

‘During the Machine Age, artists would reduce their compositions to its smallest constituent parts. With my current paintings, I manufacture this deconstruction by combining the painting tradition of portraiture with idiosyncrasies from the urban culture of tagging. This enables me to explore the intersection between street art and fine art while reconstructing them into a new genre of portraiture.’

⁠
Featuring ⁠PENELOPE STUTTERHEIME

‘The work reveals a slow unfolding, and a weaving together of states of being. Daniel C. Wahl wrote that ‘weavers are healers of the unbroken whole – connecting people and place in elegant tapestries of shared meaning and visions of a world that works for all.’ My practice engages actively with layering the literal passage of time and formal artistic considerations onto one symbolic surface. The choice of colours represents my own mindscape; in turn I hope to reflect on larger considerations, offering a reconnection and weaving together of humanity’s mindfulness and beyond.’

⁠
Featuring ⁠LIZA GROBLER

Liza Grobler’s paintings spill over with runaway scribbles and vigorous mark-making, her compositions evoking morphing landscapes – perhaps echoing the artist’s own relocation from urban to rural – and the immediacy of their energetic brushstrokes and dribbles of paint harking back to Abstract Expressionism.

⁠
Featuring ⁠NIGEL MULLINS

‘The act of compiling a series of colours and marks on a canvas is for me, a minimalist meditation on the nature of human constructs, both physical and social. The paintings, like culture, are the result of the accrual of choices, order, chaos and chance.’
– Nigel Mullins

⁠
Featuring ⁠LIONEL SMIT⁠
⁠
‘I want the sculptures to mimic the paintings, I almost try to merge them in approach, [and] to translate paintings in a three-dimensional form. In my head, I see the pieces of clay as brush strokes. At one stage while working on a sculpture I found myself building the plaster of Paris with a brush because I liked to see the brush strokes and the drips.’⁠
