Stephan Erasmus – tree of sorrows (detail)<\/a><\/small><\/div>\n

My flickr<\/a> has some nice photos of Vusi Beauchamp and Eric Rintisi at gordart<\/a> (who promise a new website soon), as well as two of my fave works from the ABSA L’Atelier (joburg entries). I think a good compromise between both spaces was to show an image of this clever piece by Stephan Erasmus<\/a>, who works at the former and is a finalist in the latter.<\/p>\n

I was not too excited by what I saw of the L’Atelier when I first dropped off my work for the competition, but once hung and selected, I can see that it really is an interesting and impressive show of young artists, and await seeing it  when we bring the rest of the country’s finalists to Jozi.<\/p>\n

I just hope this year’s winner is more impressive and surprising than last year’s (meow!)….
