Works on Paper

the gallery is pleased to present Works on Paper, a group exhibition that explores this versatile material. The exhibition highlights the dynamic relationship between the artist, the medium, and the surface.

Featuring: Stephen Allwright, Deborah Bell (In collaboration with David Krut Projects), Vanessa Cowling, Sam Kentridge, Balekane Legoabe, Janet Mbirimi (In collaboration with Warren Editions), Mongezi Ncaphayi (In collaboration with Artist Proof Studio). 

Each artist has a unique connection with their chosen surface, particularly with paper—one of the most unassuming and universal foundations for creating. In everyday life, paper often appears in ephemeral forms, such as tissues, disposable containers, bags or newspapers. Yet in art, paper transforms into something more enduring: a repository for ideas, a place for transitions, and even a symbol of absence. As a medium, it serves as both a space for contemplation and a tool for expression, transmitting voices, stories, histories, and dreams while offering a glimpse into the artist's evolving narrative.

Despite their varied approaches, all the artists in this exhibition share a common thread: the use of paper to record experiences. We invite viewers to connect with the artist's inner world through the quiet yet powerful medium of paper.
