Work from renowned South African artist and lecturer at the University of Johannesburg (UJ), Kim Berman, is currently exhibited as part of Painters Who Print at the SA Print Gallery and recent UJ Fine Art graduate, Siyasanga Madyibi has been invited to show her work as part of KR!SP at Art B Gallery, also in Cape Town.
Painters Who Print is a travelling exhibition, celebrating some of the artists who have worked at The Artists' Press. “Over the past twenty years of pioneering lithography in South Africa I noticed that artists who are primarily painters tend to make the most exceptional prints” says Mark Attwood of The Artists' Press. Kim Berman is one of the participating artists with her work focusing on landscapes.
KR!SP, an exhibition by emerging artists sponsored by the City of Cape Town, showcases young graduates and emerging artists from well known art training institutions. Siyasanga Madyibi’s paintings from her 4th year at the University of Johannesburg were selected. “Siyasanga’s work is beautiful and it was so well received – she really is one of the stars of this show” says Nikita Campbell, Art B Gallery Co-ordinator.
