Art outing


I am so glad that we decided to visit Everard Read and Circa before going to Herbert Evans this year! Our students made up about a third of the group for Andries Botha's (In)somium exhibition at the Circa. What a treat!








This piece was delivered late so we got to see the team colour bronze it before the walkabout.




The piece above was exhibited in a darkened show room - very eery with blue light arrows. I decided not to take my own camera along, so keep in mind that with the press and shoot (that has no flash setting.....) the piece looks quite different.




After a few finising touches on the bronze head, Andries proceeded to lead us through an insightful process of his work. I was very encouraged and inspired by his conviction about his own art and know that the rest of the students found it equally stimulating.

Visit his site to read about his work.

Jozi Art Outing!!


 This time last year, we took the students to the annual Herbert Evans art sale at Rosebank Mall. We spent the morning shopping and visited the contemporary Everard Read & Circa Gallery afterwards. We spent a great time there and ended with a braai and an art movie back at the Kenosis Studio. All-in-all a great day out!

Well, it's that time of the year again! Saturday, 6 August we will set off again, this time starting at the Everard Read and Circa Galleries to give us more time, and ending off at Herbert Evans (remember, up to 50% off). From there, well, who knows.....

We like to car pool so let us know who is interested, you can email us at info@kenosis.co.za
(no cost other than sharing fuel costs, just biiiiiiiig buck for the sale!!!!)

If you can't make it, make sure you find yourself at Herbert Evans some time during August, lots of awesome art goodies, and for goodness sake, get to some art galleries while you're there :)

Everard Read & Circa August exhibition: Pauline Gutter, Walter Voigt, Brennan Seward
Circa: Andries Botha (walkabout: 6 August, 10am)

Don't miss this one!!

Photo Club @ Eco park


The Photo club decided that 6:30 on a Winter's morning would be a great time to go and wonder around Eco park in Vaalpark for some sunrise shots. So off we went on Saturday morning... The sky was clear and as the sun rose, a beautiful orange cast filled the crisp air. Lovely.














Meetings @ 18:30 every last Tuesday of every month. This month's assignment "low key, b&w portrait". The next meeting's demonstration will involve underwater product splashes.
To join the Photo Club email ilse@kenosis.co.za or phone 01 932 2397 for more info.

Bazaaaaaaar!

Making sure our booth stood out at the local (Valie) NG bazaar was quite a bit of fun :)
