Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking black and white photograph captures a dense, overgrown forest scene. The composition is dominated by a tangle of dark, intricate branches and leaves that fill the frame, creating a sense of depth and enclosure. The high contrast between the dark shadows and the bright highlights suggests the use of chiaroscuro technique, evoking a dramatic, mysterious atmosphere. The lack of distinct focal points or recognizable elements adds to the abstract, impressionistic quality of the image. This work likely reflects the artist's interest in the natural world and their exploration of the expressive potential of light and shadow within the photographic medium. ...

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.

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. ...

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. ...
