Always and Always

A solo exhibition by

Norman O’Flynn

4-25 November 2021

Norman O’Flynn’s latest solo exhibition at WORLDART will be on show from 4 till 25 November 2021.

The exhibition, titled Always and always, will consist of new paintings, sculptures and two large scale beadworks made in conjunction with the Cape Town based Qaqambile Beadwork Studio.

“Always and always refers to the fact that no matter how extreme the situations we’re faced with, we tend to get through it,” says O’Flynn. “We just try harder, we stay positive and we survive.

Lately we’ve become familiar with the pace of change, but now it is more about how we deal with it. Change is a challenge, but it seems that we’re handling it.”

This is the true value of collecting Norman O'Flynn's art; it ensures the importance of preserving messages for future generations. These works are no longer something for the walls, these works hold historical and archival importance.

WORLDART is situated at 54 Church Street in the Cape town cbd and the exhibition opens on Thursday 5 November when the monthly Cape Town edition of First Thursdays takes place.

Norman O’Flynn born (b. 1971), lives and works in Cape Town as a painter, sculptor and all-round constructor.
