The things they’ve seen
Jean de Wet
Turning around
Ruth Le Roux’s richly-coloured landscapes become real as she works spontaneously in paint, conjuring worlds other than the one she’s in. Her paintings emerge, evocative of our world, while simultaneously they convey expressions of her feelings.
Jean de Wet’s paintings, in which his experienced eye for observing detail and light, distils the time of day into alluring natural scenes. As viewers we feel drawn to become the people present in these spaces.
Nicolette von Wiese’s fine works using thread, one of which is the inspiration for the exhibition’s title, are meditations on memories, both playful and reflective.
Willem Snyman’s plein air descriptive painting of Table Mountain has been included on the exhibition as a contrast to the more reflective ‘landscape’ depictions by Jean de Wet, Ruth Le Roux and Nicolette von Wiese.
