In Afterland | Lien Botha
Eclecadweb_12026-05-14T14:48:28+02:00Lien 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.
