Prince Albert Gallery

Prince Albert Gallery Karoo based gallery, Supporter of local Artists, Host of annual 30x40 auction

In May 2002 seven local Prince Albert artists with a desire to create an exhibition space to show their work formed a ‘collective’ and the Prince Albert Gallery was born. Two of the original seven, myself and Mary Ann Botha now run the gallery which has grown phenomenally over the years and has shown work by acclaimed photographer David Goldblatt as well as bronzes by Guy du Toit and paintings by

local artists George Coutouvidis and JP Meyer amongst many others. Our main mission is to help support local artists to bring their work to a wider public. The gallery attracts vistors from all over the world and hence our artists have their works in collections worldwide. As part of our aim to bring attention to our local artists we have instituted a bi-annual Prince Albert Art Festival (PArt). The PArt 2012 Festival had works by almost 130 artists in 17 venues around the town – these included solo exhibitions by William Kentridge, Mikhail Subotsky, Herman Niebuhr and Strijdom van der Merwe amongst many others. PArt 2014 will be held this September with exhibitions of works by Harry de Zitter and many others.

Highlights from our recent exhibition ‘On the way to Merweville’ featuring Sonia Martins and Wonder.

The moment artists Philip Willem Badenhorst and Elza Miles encountered this Stunning artwork ‘Whispering 1, Prince Albert Entrance’ by Sonia Martins.
Created on black organic linen using bleach as her medium, this piece captivated everyone who saw it.
The intensity and curiosity in these candid moments says it all.
Sometimes art speaks louder than words.

Get ready for more inspiration at our Prince Albert Open Studios from June 13th to 16th.
Stay tuned !

Evocative landscapes that create subtle emotions.

Janet Dirksen paints what light does to feeling. Working in an abstract impressionist style, she simplifies colour and draws in gestural, painterly brushmarks across tactile surfaces, building layer upon layer until sky, earth and nature settle into something deeply felt. Her landscapes are not reproductions. They are connections.
These are works that hold their atmosphere across decades, in homes and collections that value depth and decoration.

Original works available. DM or call us to arrange a private viewing.

The room said everything.

Jonathon Rees’s Stillness exhibition filled Prince Albert Gallery with exactly that, people. Journalists, strangers who became conversations, collectors who stood in front of a single image and didn’t move for a very long time. Black and white photography has a way of doing that. It strips the world back until what remains is pure feeling, a moment so precisely captured you swear you were there when it happened.

These are the images you don’t forget. The kind you find yourself thinking about on the drive home, wondering which one would change your living room, your study, the wall you walk past every morning.

If something in this reel has caught you, trust that. DM us and ask to see more. We will send you photographs, talk you through what’s available, and if you’re not nearby, a virtual consultation is absolutely an option. That is what we are here for.

Some things don’t ask for your attention. They command it.

This bronze owl does that. The weight of it, the texture, the detail, the way it holds light and history in the same breath. A bronze doesn’t decorate a room. It anchors it, changes it. You only notice how much when you’re standing in front of one and you simply cannot look away.

We have a collection of bronzes. The kind that becomes the biggest conversation starter in a home.

If bronze is your medium, come in and see us. If you’re further afield, DM us and let’s set up a virtual consult.

The opening of Stillness was anything but still.

Warmth filled the room. Laughter was real. Questions came from every corner as Jonathon Rees walked his audience through his process, what it means to chase truth and clarity through a lens in a smoky jazz club, and how you recognise the moment when it arrives.

People lingered. Conversations deepened. Strangers found themselves standing together under the word Stillness, drawn into the same question Rees has spent years answering through his work.

This is what happens when art tells the truth.

Stillness is open and running at the Prince Albert Gallery. If you have not seen it yet, now is the time.

We invite you to experience Stillness.

In a world that refuses to slow down, Jonathon Rees went looking for the one thing every human being craves. Clarity. Truth. The moment of absolute stillness inside the noise.

He found it in smoky jazz clubs. In the breath before the next note. In the finger as it changes strings. In the split second where everything stops and the truth of a moment is revealed.

Stillness opens tomorrow at 11am. Prince Albert Gallery.

30/04/2026

An exhibition we will never forget.

Conversations and connection. Whispers in front of the work. Groups of people drawn together, lingering, not wanting to leave.

Wonder and Sonia Martins Mateus walked us through their world and the room came alive around them.
This is what art does when it finds the right people.

Stillness opens tomorrow, 1 May. If this is any indication of what the gallery holds right now, you do not want to miss it.

In collaboration with and

Wonder maps the isolation of objects left behind in a vast landscape. Sonia Martins Mateus attacks material with fire, acid and bleach to reveal what lies beneath.

Two artists. One desert. Completely different journeys arriving at the same conversation.
