Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This black and white image depicts a minimalist, abstract drawing of a person holding a bouquet of flowers. The overall composition is simple, with the central figure outlined in white against a dark background. The style is stark and elemental, conveying a sense of loneliness or isolation through the lone figure and the sparse use of lines. The artwork appears to be a photographic or photocopy-based rendering, lending it a textural quality and a sense of immediacy. The piece likely explores themes of human relationships, emotions, and the fragility of existence, though its exact intention remains open to interpretation. ...

Artist

Phumzile Khanyile

South African

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. Her work consists of self-portraits with a candid, instant aesthetic and, more recently, photographic negatives accompanied by hand-drawn images and symbols. To this day, violence and childhood trauma continue to fuel her creativity. According to the photographer, looking back allows her to move forward; "many of the clues to who I really am lie somewhere in the past", which she tries to evoke through her photography. ...

Gallery

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. ...
