The Stellenbosch University Creative Jewellery and Metal Division cordially invites you to 'Reflections in Form', the annual competition exhibition that celebrates the creativity, craftsmanship and development of undergraduate jewellery students from all four years study.

This exhibition showcases a diverse collection of work that explores material, form, concept and the many ways jewellery and metal can become a means of creative expression.

Please join us at GUS on Thursday, 3 September at 18:00 for the opening reception.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Feature Friday | Vincent Engelbrecht šŸ¦‰

While ā€˜Curiouser Curiouser Curiouserā€™ is still on show and will be up for a bit longer, weā€™re taking a moment to sit with the work of one of its artists, Vincent Engelbrecht.

ā€œThings begin with drawings for me, I plan, think and dream through drawings. It has become the foundation of where I work from regarding this body of work.

I also draw from themes of magical realism, embodied knowledge, lived experiences, daydreams and nightmares to inject life into my work.

The prints, drawings and objects in this space are a culmination of everything that I have worked towards in the effort to create a world/narrative. This world has recurring objects and characters which become things of their own.ā€

Make sure to come and view the exhibition before it closes next week Wednesday, 12 August.

ā€˜Remainsā€™, the second exhibition in our postgraduate lineup, showcases work by Enrike Groenewald and Rebekah Pringle.

This exhibition focuses on the process and products of a creative discourse with collections of remains. Enrikeā€™s work explores concepts of mourning and commemoration through contemporary jewellery made using the bodies of insects, intentionally blurring the boundaries between notions of preciousness and repulsion. Rebekahā€™s work uses everyday materials such as wooden furniture and cement to unpack the interdependent relationship she has with her grandmother, resulting in a body of work that evidences lived experience, putting memory into form.

ā€˜Remainsā€™ will be open for public viewing tomorrow until Friday, 31 July.

ā€˜Languages of Careā€™, an exhibition by Kajal Ranchhod, Helaina du Toit and Vikisha Ranchod is the first showcase in our series of postgraduate reviews at the gallery.

In this exhibition, ā€œlanguage departs from its common use as spoken words used to communicate with each other. Instead, it is framed as a way of conveying meaning, thoughts and emotions through artistic explorations. Each artistā€™s body of work is a personal discovery where considered processes become languages of careā€.

This exhibition opens to the public from tomorrow.

[Please note that certain artworks will be on show for a limited time only.]
