When I Stare At The Night Sky | Justin Dingwall

Eclecadweb_12026-05-14T12:11:41+02:00

Marking Justin Dingwall's first solo exhibition with the gallery, this body of photographic work illuminates the nuanced nature of our memories. The inclusion of remembered objects connects to a greater notion of the body as a vessel, and more specifically, a vessel of personal history. Material and photography are entwined as a means of weaving past and future; where collective memory and the resonance of intangible world manifest into a palpable realism.

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.
