'ZOO' is an exhibition of David J. Brown’s last works: a collection of wax fragments, small-scale bronze sculptures and a series of linocut prints, inspired by a period of time he spent in Berlin. The project remained unfinished as a result of his sudden death in 2016 and, as such, memorialises his life and work.

Circa Gallery Visit, Johannesburg✔
Everything you want to know about South Africa you will find in this channel!
The Circa Gallery was built in Rosebank in 2009 alongside the Everard Read gallery, Johannesburg’s oldest private art gallery. An architectural landmark, the building has received awards for its striking design and its green credentials, with solar panels and rainwater tanks making it one of the most self-sufficient buildings in the area.
It was designed by architect Pierre Swanepoel of studioMAS, who was tasked with creating a space for the gallery that would attract the attention of passers-by and encourage more public engagement with the arts.
The elliptical structure makes the most of the relatively narrow plot of land that it occupies and an impressive façade of 400 10m-tall aluminium fins is its most distinctive feature. Swanepoel's fins were inspired by the natural world – some liken them to the reeds used for fences in traditional Zulu kraals while others compare them to the bark of a tree.
During the day this extraordinary façade casts shadows across the ramp that spirals around the building leading visitors up to the top of the gallery and at night it is lit with a dazzling display of colours.
The gallery describes itself as relatively small in size [and] lofty and ambitious in its intentions and regularly stages contemporary art and sculpture exhibitions by leading South African artists such as Deborah Bell, Wayne Barker and Nelson Makamo.

Interview with Lionel Smit for Manipulated Image solo exhibition at Everard Read Johannesburg
Lionel Smit
‘MANIPULATED IMAGE’
at Everard Read Johannesburg
14 November - 14 December 2019
Everard Read is delighted to announce the fourth solo exhibition of Lionel Smit in Johannesburg. Smit, leading painter and sculptor of iconic Cape Malay women, will present a series of new works, inspired by the digital age and manipulation of the image. Celebrated for his skilfully oil-painted and sculpted portraits of female subjects, his work took on a new direction when he moved to the Cape in 2009. This exhibition marks ten years of Smit starting a whole new iconography while exploring abstract qualities in painting and sculpting applications. Using meticulous techniques Smit has created a unique series of multimedia paintings that, on first glance, look like painterly works of art, but on close inspection, are a combination of silkscreen and layering of different or repeated imagery. The result is a series of works that signifies a dramatic new departure for the artist.
The whole idea behind Manipulated Image is how the digital age and technology has influenced artists and their processes. Experimentation forms a big part of the imagery where Smit uses silkscreening as part of his painting process, creating a cross over between the two mediums.
Recent solo exhibitions include Destructure with Everard Read, London; Divide, with ARTLIFE, Los Angeles and Obscura with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami. Smit’s sculpture Morphous has been publicly installed in Union Square, New York and is currently on display at the Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey, USA.
Lionel Smit was born in Pretoria in 1982. As the son of a South African sculptor, Anton Smit, he was never formally trained, besides attending the Pro Arte High School. Smit rose to prominence for his iconic portrayals of the Cape Malay women after moving to Cape Town in 2009 and arranging his first solo exhibition based around this theme titled Residue at Grande Provence, Franschhoek. One of his monumental portrait’s was exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2013 receiving the Visitor’s Choice Award. His work is in several collections including that of Delaire Graff Estate, as well as the private collections of the Didrichsen Art Museum, Ellerman House, Laurence Graff and Louis Norval.
