Louis Minaar Solo Exhibition at 99 Loop Gallery
“Breathing. To most of us, it comes naturally. For many others, particularly those for whom anxiety is a daily struggle, that is not the case. The interrelation between breath and state of mind is the inspiration behind Pretoria-based visual artist Louis Minnaar’s latest exhibition multi-sensory installation, Breathing Room. The radial shapes within them mimic the stylistic qualities and movement of conscious breath. The stills are on display and for sale in the exhibition as unique prints. Breathing Room is on show at the gallery until August 20th. Be sure to experience it.

Fhatuwani Mukheli ‘Double Exposure’ at Gorgeous George
Kindred Gallery and Gorgeous George present influential shape-shifter and twofold artist-photographer, Soweto-born @fhatuwanimukhell’s
debut solo show in The Pink Room. ‘Double Exposure’ takes on inspiration from the various aspects of the artist’s personal life which involve duality and juxtaposition: his photography background, being a twin, being a “character” in the influencer world whilst being someone else in real life.
Here, Fhatuwani moves away from the palpable narratives that characterized his previous bodies of work. Instead, the artist’s new body of mixed media objects are what usher into a new chapter of introspective experimentation.
