1. Mbongeni Buthelezi (in cooperation with Tse Tse Gallery, Gent)

Mbongeni Buthelezi grew up in Soweto, Johannesburg and studied at Funda Art School, Soweto. In the streets of Soweto a lot of plastic packing material could be found. This gave him the inspiration to work with plastic. He treats the different types of plastic with a hit gun to stick the and stiffen this material on a surface. In this way he created colorful paintings with a very lively texture. His arts works are both abstract and figurative. Buthelezi’s unique skills make his work increasingly aroused interest even outside South Africa. He exhibited in Amsterdam, Cologne, London, Madeira, New York, Gent, Vienna and others. Recently he started making beautiful drawings on paper.

After matriculating she moved to Cape Town to study at the Michaelis school of Fine Art, where she graduated with a BA in Fine art in 2011. She works predominantly in oil on canvas and oil on paper.

3. Francina Ndimandi (in cooperation with Stichting World Art Delft)

Francina Ndimande is one of the most important traditional Ndebele artists. Each artist from the Ndebele group creates very personal work. Francina favours forms different from those of her fellow artist Esther Mahlangu. Her colour choice carries her towards more acid tones and her motives are more design like. Highly stylized figurative elements like staircases, airplanes, double storey houses, television antennas, electric lights and bulbs are regularly found in her work. These images are brought back from her frequent visits to the city and her overseas trips.

She learned the skill of mural painting from her mother and grandmother. She exhibited in Knysna Fine Art Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark, Delft, Freiburg and the XXIII. International Biennial of São Paulo, Africus Johannesburg Biennale, Johannesburg and others.

5. Marlene Dumas (in cooperation with collector Vincent Vlasbom)

Born in 1953 in Cape Town, South Africa, Marlene Dumas studied at the University of Cape Town before moving to The Netherlands in the late 1970s to study painting and psychology. She continues to live and work in Amsterdam. She is widely regarded as one of the most influential painters working today and has continuously explored the complex range of human emotions, often probing questions of gender, race, sexuality, and economic inequality. Through her focus on the human figure, Dumas merges socio-political themes with personal experience and art-

5 historical antecedents to create a unique perspective on the most salient and controversial issues facing contemporary society. Her work consistently explores constructions of identity and the fluid distinctions between the public and the private.

Title: Tekstuur v struktuur 1979, collage mixed media on paper 64 x 50 cm (excl. frame) € 19.500,= (incl. frame 93 x 73 cm)

6. Jon Eiselin

Jon Eiselin, born Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, lives in Amsterdam. He spent a lot of time on Durban’s Coast where he was inspired by the liveliness of the people, the bright sunlight, the abundance of colour, heat and water in its variety of forms. The impressive energy of the ocean and its waves, the currents and meandering rivers, the reflecting puddles, the saline harbour and the scattering of the vivid blues of refreshing swimming pools in the urban areas definitely also had a profound influence on him. His work can be divided into series, each with their own identity and time span. He alternates between figuration and non-figuration, both feeding on another. What they have in common though are a keen sense of colour and style. He tends to work on large formats. However, even his smaller works maintain a monumental and solid quality. Although he prefers working with oil paints, he periodically resorts to other materials for sketches and improvisations.

9. Ruan Hoffmann (in cooperation with ZAM magazine)

Ruan Hoffmann (born in 1971 in South Africa) is working with ceramics over the past 14 years. He uses the three-dimensional surfaces of plates, bowls, tile panels and small sculptures as canvases for his icon-like images. Ceramic's popularly thought of status as a craft - rather than a contemporary form of art production - is an issue Hoffmann eagerly subverts. By focusing on the medium's fragility, combined with a discriminating eye for detail and painstaking craftsmanship, the artist finds a sympathetic vehicle for expressing concerns that span both the present and the past. His art is often infused with personal concerns about identity and sexuality, as well as mythical and mystical allusions.

10. Themba Khumalo

Meet Themba Khumalo, whose cityscapes capture the beauty, energy, fears and grit of Africa’s wealthiest city. The vast scale and density of Johannesburg’s commuter taxi networks, the relentlessness of urban life, and famous landmarks like the Hillbrow tower all make an appearance in Khumalo’s portfolio. Etching and drypoint are Khumalo’s chosen printing techniques, letting him describe the range of tones present in his charcoal drawings, together with intense strong line. He also acknowledges the foundation and direction of home, which is also suggestive of the South African spirit of ‘ubuntu’: “I am who I am because of my upbringing”, he says. More recently, he has started to work with charcoal drawing. His work has been exhibited at both the FNB Joburg Art Fair and Cape Town Art Fair in recent years.

11. Esther Mahlangu (in cooperation with Gallery Sanaa)

Esther Mahlangu is part of the Ndebele community in Gauteng, north of Pretoria. The Ndebele tribes in South Africa, have managed to preserve their centuries’ old ancestral traditions. Despite being a patriarchal society, artistic heritage is handed down from mother to daughter; as a young woman reaches puberty she withdraws from male society for three months and is taught the ceremonial patterns of Ndebele beadwork and wall paintings, also executed exclusively by the Ndebele women.

Esther Mahlangu is an important proponent of this tradition. She draws freehand, without first measuring or sketching, using luminous and high-contrast vinyl paints that lend extraordinary vigor to her murals. While at a glance purely abstract, her compositions are built upon a highly inventive system of signs and symbols. Mahlangu is the first Ndebele artist to transpose wall paintings onto canvases and to take the conventions of her artwork into the larger arena. In 1989 she came to Paris to create murals Magiciens de la Terre exhibition, and undertook further commissioned works for public buildings like the Civic Theater of Johannesburg, for museums, for BMW, for Comme des Garçons, Mahlangu has made Ndebele art celebrated world over. She has stated: “My mother and grandmother taught me to paint when I was ten years old. I have been busy with it ever since and have always liked it. When I am painting my heart is very wide, it reaches out. It makes me feel very, very happy.”

12. Sara-J (in cooperation with Chiefs & Spirits Gallery)

Sara-J’s perceptions were formed against the backdrop of the dark days of apartheid. On completion of her studies in graphic fine art, she soon became well known at home in South Africa (Cape Town) and abroad for her original etchings, life drawings and oil paintings produced over three decades. Sara-J’s work today captures moments in time that cannot be revisited. Using a blend of charcoal and oil, she examines the human form from different angles. She focuses on penetrating the external gesture and energy of the body to express underlying human suffering, sexuality and vulnerability. The artist only works with live models in her studio. Using line work, she blends nuanced aspects of Africa and Europe, expressing the vision of the Old Masters in a contemporary light.

Lehlogonolo Mashaba began his art education at the Funda Center in 2003. He later obtained a certificate in Design and Printmaking in 2004. In addition to creating his own work, Mashaba is a former collaborative printer specialising in intaglio, relief, monotype and silkscreen at Artist Proof Studio. He assisted in printing works for established artists, such as Marcus Neustetter and Sandile Goje.

In his drawings and prints he explores actual questions about origins, evolution and psychological effects of mind. He incorporates texts and lines in his work to construct figures, his work attempts to establish a dialogue between mind, body (human being) and learning.

14 Ira van der Merwe

South African-born artist Ira van der Merwe has many stories to tell. The embodiment of creativity and education, she lives to learn, encourage, repurpose and create.

Her current artworks are deeply soulful renderings of African animals. With the vivid similitude

14 she achieves you cannot help but stretch out a finger to test the rough textures of kudu and buffalo horns or see if the cow's ears are really as soft as they seem.

She lets your imagination take flight, but she also lets a quietness and calmness settle around you and you find yourself drawn in to look closer. Ira has perfected the art of tracing the joy and sorrow in her subjects’ curves, folds and eyes. The lines and shades of her work communicate an empathetic understanding of chaos and pain. Yet, at the same time, there is always the faintest whisper of hope.

15. Samson Mnisi (in cooperation with Clifton Boulder)

Was born in 1971 in Lesotho, he lives and works in Johannesburg. His art is a symbolic language of an abstract thought. He uses patterns, lines, symbols and color to find a contemporary South African expression. He sees himself as part of the timeless tradition of celebrating the human godliness from the first rock painting, to the present time and beyond. He’s interested in using art as another element of alchemy. Where through it you can evoke and even heal certain emotions. “In my work I am finding a new interpretation for an old language."

16. Francois de Plessis (in cooperation with Chiefs & Spirtis)

Francois du Plessis (1961) born in Zimbabwe, raised in South Africa, lives in Aachen. His book objects rarely look like books. They look like large tree slices, like gay whirls of color or vertically arranged landscapes. And they look like small insects running up the sheer wall. No, his book objects do not look like alienated books. And yet they are book objects. Because they are made out of what books are made of: many layers of printed pages, velvety linen bindings or shining soft covers, and colorful bookmarkers. For Du Plessis it is not important which facts are stored in the books he works with, what ideas and experiences their text speaks about. His material is the material. His book objects are objects made from books.

17. Gavin Rain (in cooperation with David Smith art gallery

Gavin Rain, born and living in Cape Town, studied art at the Ruth Prowse Art School and Art History at the University of Cape Town. He also has degrees in Psychology and Neuropsychology, both from the University of Cape Town.

Artist statement: “We underestimate the role played by those who came before us in our actions, and indeed in the fabric of our environment. Our actions and the events we participate in are shaped by the hands of those whose memory and message is all but lost. We need to re- examine, expose and celebrate these people and recognize their continuing contributions to society. We need to step back to see this more often. I want to introduce this dialog into my work – to force people to consider the notion of understanding the visual (and thereby society) at multiple levels. To voice the idea that one needs to remove oneself almost entirely from the literal in order to comprehend that which is subtle, but nevertheless intrinsic.”

20 . Adriaan de Villiers (in cooperation with Gallery Sanaa)

Towers form the main body of my work. The tower refers to: The Tower of Babel and is a symbol of power. My ceramic sculptures are an unorthodox protest against sterile, modern architecture. The Spanish architect, Gaudi, is one of my main influences. Hundertwasser, Russian architecture, Outsider Art and Gustav Klimt inform my sculptures. My sculptures are inspired by the appearance of flowers from South Africa. Other forms in nature such as shells influence my work. My recent sculptures are inspired by trees such as the South African Milkwood Tree and the Juniper Tree. A tree is often a religious symbol. In the Bible a Juniper Tree with an angelic presence sheltered the prophet Elijah from Queen Jezebel’s pursuit.

I explore the idea of why everyday objects are endued with religious significance. At the same time exploring the dualism between superficial ‘ornament’ and deeper spiritual meaning attached to religious iconography. These influences are combined to create my own individual and imaginative version of architecture and nature. My domed sculptures are reminiscent of fairy tale castles, but with a humorous perspective on it. I elaborate on the idea of the house as a container of effects.

Aalwyn Huis, 2012, 1.900,= aardewerk (The sculpture is inspired by a Blou Aalwyn found in South Africa. The leaves of this Aloe plant have a natural lined pattern which is reflected in the sculpture. The sculpture is also inspired by the Chrysler building in New York)
