Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist painting features a muted color palette of warm, earthy tones. The composition is simple, with a single organic form or shape rendered in a delicate, fluid style against a plain, mustard-colored background. The brushwork is loose and expressive, lending a sense of movement and natural flow to the piece. While the subject matter is ambiguous, the overall impression is one of tranquility and contemplation. The artwork's reduced elements and meditative quality suggest the artist's intention to capture the essence of a natural form or process through a refined and introspective artistic approach. ...

Artist
Asemahle Ntlonti
B.1993, South African

Asemahle Ntlonti’s approach to painting is expressed through the layering of paint, paper and thread stitching on canvas. Working on the floor to immerse her body in the process, she gradually builds up her works by intuitively applying and stripping away material. Ntlonti draws inspiration from the textures and hues that characterise the vernacular architecture of her ancestral homeland in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and recently the works have been informed by the artist’s encounters with the ruins of her mother’s homestead and its interior surfaces. Resembling topographical charts or maps, the walls of painted colour veined with mud-filled cracks conjure landscapes imbued with nostalgia and longing.Ntlonti’s process refers to the acts of digging / excavating and mending / repairing to speak about the scars of intergenerational traumas caused by the effects of economic subjugation and displacement of black people under colonialism and apartheid; with particular reference to the cultural alienation and loss of knowledges embedded within precolonial tradition and spirituality. Seeking to locate her identity in relation to the land and community from which she and her family have been estranged, Ntlonti’s practice is centred around her ongoing research of isiXhosa heritage and an inquiry into her ancestry. ...

Based in a 360 sqm gallery in Woodstock, Cape Town, blank was founded by Jonathan Garnham as a project space in 2005 and transitioned into a commercial gallery during 2012. The gallery represents emerging and increasingly established artists from the region in a critically engaged programme that emphasises contemporaneity, with a focus on concept and abstraction in the African context. With an exhibition programme that has a reputation for shaping the discourse around contemporary art in South(ern) Africa, and participation in prominent local and international art fairs, we seek to place our artists' work in a wide range of private and institutional collections. In addition, blank continues to promote the visual arts in our community through ongoing projects that support the sector. ...
