CURRENT EXHIBITIONS AT ARTSPACE DURBAN

Broll and King: Paint and Process

Terri Broll and Terence King are artists with a commitment to the richness of abstraction in painting. King’s work is rooted in observation, chiefly of the figure, whereas Broll draws on intuitive processes in the discovery of her subject matter. Both hold an interest in the interactive and interdependent process between artmaking and the objectivity of the painted surface. In this exhibition Broll and King present recent work reflecting their long-held interests in problems of figuration and abstraction. Both artists come from academic backgrounds in the visual arts, have exhibited extensively and are represented in private and public collections here and internationally.

On Saturday, 5 July Terri Broll will be conducting a "Art and Working Skills: An Introductory
Workshop" 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the studios at artSPACE durban. If interested in finding out more contact Terri on terribroll@gmail.com or 083-477-5599.


AND IN THE MIDDLE GALLERY:

"Us" an exhibition by Kieran Smith

"Us" explores familiar people in Kieran¹s life. Here he takes a step away from the iconic subject matter of his prior projects to the intimate and personal world immediately around him. Many images of his friends were downloaded off Facebook. Kieran is interested in the dramatic, expressive quality of materials used and eschews all delicacy in favour of harsh, brash
marks made of smears of sand, glue and paint; grit in favour of gloss.
