Read MoreBETTER & BETTER is a solo exhibition of paintings by Norman O’Flynn. He has a deep understanding of and love for the pop art tradition. In his work, he explores what this genre means today. He refers to topics that have become relevant in the last decade and expresses it in a visual language ranging from familiar religious and pop iconography to celebrity culture and self-love. Topics such as the speed of change, the explosion of knowledge and how we ourselves have become the product and ultimately our own gods, are expressed in a way that adds new energy and relevance to the genre of pop art.
BETTER & BETTER will run from 4 – 25 May 2017
Read MoreThe title for this exhibition centers on growth and connects with Nel’s long-term preoccupation with the inner child in the adult psyche, which needs to be confronted from time to time in order for an individual to grow and function normally. Nel was also inspired by her own children, who at different periods in their own development have compelled her to reflect on her childhood and the various identities from that time that continue to shape her adult life.

At last year’s Cape Town Art Fair, Worldart showed sculptor Haidee Nel’s work for the first time. Many of our patrons fell in love with her work. So this year Worldart will host a solo exhibition with the talented and inspiring artist.
The exhibition, titled Groeipyne, premieres at the US Woordfees that takes place from 3 to 12 March in Stellenbosch. Then it moves to our gallery in Cape Town on Thursday 6 April.
2 – 30 Maart 2017
Dion Cupido’s fourth solo exhibition, titled Plain reality, opens at the Worldart gallery on Thursday 2 March.
From ducking and diving with cans of spray paint in Mitchells Plain as a teenager to the artist who “represents a moment in which our dark history and its democratic afterglow are both beside the point.” (Ashraf Jamal, Sunday Times, April 6, 2014), Cupido has become one of the most important portrait artists in South Africa. He was recently commissioned to do a mural in the UK and his solo exhibitions are always greeted with anticipation and excitement.
Read MoreIn PLAIN REALITY artist Dion Cupido continues to focus on female portraiture. His fixation with this traditional genre and his gendered slant on it is motivated by a drive to reveal the hidden psychic pain women experience or our expectation that men are exempt from expressing their emotions.
Read MoreThe Art Africa Fair has nominated eight artists for the inaugural BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS (BYT) award and residency.
The eight nominations are Lizette Chirrime (MOZAMBIQUE), Laeila Adjovi (SENEGAL), Patrick Bongoy (DRC), Joanna Choumali (Côte d’Ivoire), Tahir Karmali (KENYA), Francois Knoetze (SA), Skhumbuzo Makandula (SA) and Siwa Mgoboza (SA).
