Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This black and white photograph features a surreal, dreamlike composition. The central focus is a striking silhouetted figure, which appears to be a person diving or falling amidst a swirling, abstract background. The overall scene evokes a sense of movement, energy, and a departure from reality. The artist has employed dramatic contrasts between light and dark, creating a stark, graphic quality that heightens the dramatic impact. This captivating work seems to explore themes of the subconscious, the human experience, and the boundaries between the physical and metaphysical realms. ...

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. ...

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. ...
