Artist profile: Alouette Ferreira, Strange Creatures

Alouette Ferreira is a South African oil painter exploring themes of connection, yearning and perception. Her style is soulful and smooth, capturing the essence and ‘the emotional resonance of a subject or object’ through her paintings, rather than a hyper-realistic interpretation of them. Deeply moved by the feeling of longing, Alouette relates to and draws inspiration from a Portuguese word - Saudade - which refers to “a melancholic longing or yearning for something that does not and probably cannot exist, something other than the present”. She is passionate about how the medium of painting can capture the intangible and the invisible - what exists beneath the surface of what words can do justice. “I am defined by a desire to explore...

Her patience is reliable. Boudica is defined by the way she moves through life in terms of her awareness - how she interacts with life's unfolding - by her sensitivity and receptivity, and by the lifetimes that she has lived before this one. She goes deep into the layers of the intricate complexity of human existence, which is too vast to summarise. We had...

Artist Profile: Lyall Sprong, Gathering Places

Lyall Sprong explores the edges where the natural world meets the human perception through abstract works made with terrestrial matter. Lyall draws concepts from textures of the earth, found and gathered on physical paths of exploration, curiosity and open wandering. He relates his way of being to his Piscean nature; “I feel so incredibly liminal, which is one way of understanding a fish in water.” Lyall’s work encourages one to interpret a philosophical conversation, unique to his medium, that is shaped by the energy of the colours and figures in each piece. The rich pigments in his work are sourced from the likes of stone, sand, clay and ash - natural compounds which carry an ancient, earthbound connection. There is...
