07.09.2022 – 27.10.2022
Opening Wednesday 7 September 2022 at 6pm.
play play is a group exhibition featuring the work of artists Katja Abbott, Carin Dorrington, and JP Meyer.
Welcome to a world of strange characters, topical totems, anachronistic mythologies and vibrant colour. Using the mediums of paint and ceramic sculpture the artists dive playfully into the realm of fantasy in the context of a world in peril. While the exhibition appears to be a romp through a psychedelic wonderland, the work is not above being a little subversive.
While the tone of the exhibition celebrates play and unfettered imagination, all three artists are indeed serious: Serious about playing and serious about not being too serious.
