FOR THE ART LOVERS
The Standard Bank Corporate Art Collection stands as one of SA’s most distinguished and comprehensive collections of its kind. It has expanded to encompass more than 1,200 works by 250 (mainly) SA artists.
Collectively, these artworks communicate the observations, aspirations and concerns of the country’s finest artists, providing a reflection of the physical, social and cultural fabric of SA in all its intriguing complexity.
The GFI Art Gallery in Park Drive will showcase a selection of the artworks which formed part of the original exhibition at the Standard Bank Art Gallery, called “Accented List: Collecting the Standard Bank Corporate Art Collection”.
The exhibition is open to the public until June 3.
Another exhibition, titled “VITRIFIED”, by award-winning artists Lookout Sibanda, Sinethemba Xola and Sarah Stroud, will be on display at the GFI Art Galley until May 31.
VITRIFIED speaks to the transformative nature of ceramic art — a process where raw material is shaped, fired and refined into enduring beauty.
Each artist’s work has undergone both literal and figurative trials by fire.
The gallery is open from 10am to 4pm weekdays, and from 10am to 1pm on Saturdays.
Inquiries: 041-586-3973
