Description

You are warmly invited to an Exhibition, titled "I See You: Telling Through Faces".

The exhibition will focus on celebrating, embracing, and discussing the human face as a subject of art and as a canvas. Themes of self-expression, womanhood, defiance, and experimentation are visited. Artists were given the exhibition brief and were free to address and interpret these themes as they pleased. Some were already creating this type of art, making them a perfect instrument in this exhibition. An example of this theme can be seen in the painting of Jacob Butinyana, where he celebrates the feminine beauty of the African women he encounters in his life. Our uniqueness, rage, beauty, and worries are represented in a symphony of faces.

The show includes five artists: Buhle Sithole, an illustrator whose style has remained fluid over the years but solid in her inspiration from graffiti; while Jacob Butinyana, a visual artist mainly working with paint emphasizes emotional and personal expression in his vibrant works; pencil artist Kgothatso Diale knows no limits in creating realistic and adorned figures; Vuyani Lephoto, a digital artist and aspiring painter who deconstructs and reconstructs the human face in abstract forms; and Prince Nhlapho, affectionately known as DONOTFEEDYOUREGO, a freelance photographer, director and copywriter whose every frame tells a story and every scene unfolds with cinematic brilliance.
