In Afterland | Lien Botha

Eclecadweb_12026-05-14T14:48:28+02:00

Lien Botha's solo exhibition with Eclectica Contemporary is one that reinforces the ways photographic mediums, and its subject matter, can be pushed to grow beyond it's confines. Botha's focus on terrain, landscapes and spatiality offers a reanimated stance on the notion of space and seeing Africa as an urban space that is fixtured by incidental moments of human interaction, thus situating the viewer in a careful push and pull between "figure" and "ground" as a means of navigating space from the perspective of humans growing up, and sensing spatiality around themselves. Botha is a seasoned artist, writer and curator, offering introspective conversation through art that evokes human nature and the human ability to connect the terrain of Africa with figurative gestures, and pinpoint cosmic alignments within the landscape that feel out of time.

Nkhensani Mkhari's text 'What Was, What Is, What If' suggests the idea of destabilizing normative representational economies. Liminal spaces between representation and deconstruction are explored through eight artists that negotiate the phenomenological terrain of cultural production in their art, and see them manifest as aesthetics of interruption. Featured artists include Shaquille-Aaron Keith, Loyiso Mkhize, Ebenezer Samuel Akinola, Cathy Layzell, William Chechet, Lars Fischedick, Ayogu Kingsley and Anthony Lane.

Rebooting the Gaze | Patrick Rulore

Eclecadweb_12026-05-15T10:30:07+02:00

Blending light and shadow to evoke the quiet dramas of daily life, Patrick Rulore takes the mundane and transforms well-known scenery into depictions of communities and people that reinstate and challenge preconceived representations of modern life within an African context. Cultural and theological norms are reconsidered and centered as confrontations toward classical depictions of power dynamics and socio-politics. Classical references are delightfully transformed, and global artistic traditions are shifted to unravel the complexities of African contemporary life in witty, symbolic ways.
