Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This stark black and white photograph depicts a simple minimalist composition. The central element is a stylized outline of a small boat or vessel, formed by dark, distinct lines against a blurred, textured background. The overall aesthetic conveys a sense of isolation and introspection, emphasized by the high-contrast monochromatic palette. The artist's choice of technique, focusing on the essential shapes and forms rather than realistic details, suggests an abstract, symbolic interpretation of the subject matter. This image may allude to themes of solitude, journeying, or the human experience of navigating life's uncertain waters. ...

Phumzile Khanyile is an award-winning South African photographer and activist. Khanyile's practice focuses on her own interiority, women's lives and sexual politics.

blank projects

Cape Town

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. ...
