Ateljee

About Ateljee

The showcase honors the legacies of icons like JH Pierneef, Maggie Laubser, and Irma Stern, whose distinct visual languages—from Pierneef’s structured geometry to Stern’s expressive vitality—serve as a foundation for modern reinterpretation. Featuring fourteen contemporary artists, the exhibition spans painting, printmaking, sculpture, and sound. Highlights include: Immersive Installations: A sculptural boat installation by Emma Willemse. Sonic Landscapes: A musical composition of Spies’s poetry by sound artist Conrad Oosthuizen. Modern Responses: Artworks by Michael Amery, Jenny Parsons, and others that echo the technical brilliance of their predecessors while shaping new narratives.
