Been doing filler (mostly my own stuff) for the past while on the blog, whilst on residence in Brazil, and not getting out much since going gaga over my daughter<\/a>. Hit the gallery strip two days ago, tho, and as usual was pleased by the works at Warren Siebrits<\/a> – with the exception of the young, up-and-coming Colbert Mashile, the works were a bit steep in price, but that’s what you pay for in the Siebrits space, I gather; he does the work of finding great work. Colbert is also, obviously, a guy to watch.  Not that impressed with Cecil Skotnes @ Goodman<\/a>, but it is what it is – emotive paintings and prints, from an old master… Just not my vibe.  The Krut<\/a> group show of works is really worth seeing, and the pieces are really affordable for those who want to start collecting going-places (or already there) artists (I actually bought a Slemon<\/a> piece for myself). Note that this is not a self-plug – my prints on show are not for sale….<\/p>\n

Also currently on in Gauteng:
Dorothee Kreutzfeldt @ Outlet, and (oh shit, nathaniel just realized he deleted the shows he had intended on blogging from his inbox), and some other stuff at some other galleries, I am sure. Maybe look at m&g<\/a> or art.co.za<\/a>  or Artthrob listings<\/a> or something. I’m tired.<\/p>\n

Oh yeh, and my opening at Parking Gallery<\/a> went live last night (up for three days by appointment). Here’s a great photo by Christo Doherty (followed by a few others on my crap phone). Doherty says, "the image of woody allen came out rather like a francis bacon portrait – i quite liked that. he was also an artist challenged by the problems of communication and the corporal body…."<\/p>\n

\"simon<\/a>
simon gush (parking gallery curator) and clive kellner (johannesburg art museum curator). the latter says the former is a great gallerist, and that i could quote him on that. after he said i should not blog about him spilling coca-cola everywhere, that is….<\/sup><\/p>\n

\"rat<\/a>
rat western and her bright nose in my terrible photos say, "it’s nice to see your crap"<\/sup><\/p>\n

PS – my daughter<\/a> has a new site, if interested
PPS – about to post my first guest blog at Art Heat<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
