South African Contemporary Art Exhibition 2011
The richness of art culture in South Africa
To continue with the buzz of 2010 South Africa World Cup, the South African Consulate-General firstly presents the South African Contemporary Art Exhibition 2011 in Hong Kong. The theme of the photo exhibition includes lifestyle, people and wildlife, adventure and natural scenery, to present the richness of South Africa in different angles. Also, the oil paintings of South Africans emerging abstract artist, Lee Chaldecott will be presented. To her art represents the beauty of the world in all in complexities. Her paintings truly shift people’s consciousness into a mysterious world.
Oliver Kingston an emerging digital photographic artist has this to say:
“Photography has always held the allure of essence through images. The ability to communicate hidden meanings and subtext has previously been a form of subconscious prompting limited to film and literature. The birth of the digital photographic medium has now changed that in an exciting and beautiful new way”.
“Through this exhibition, we would like to exhibit the contemporary art and beautiful scenery of South Africa, to introduce South Africa in a different and more sophisticated way than people are traditionally used to. We hope that this first exhibition will be enjoyed by the Hong Kong community as we would like to do a bigger and more diverse one next year. “ said Nomatemba Tambo, the Consul-General of South African Consulate-General, HKSAR/ MSAR.
