John Phalane and Daniel Malan

1 May 2021

the world pairs new work by Daniel Malan with existing work by John Phalane.

Daniel Malan (b. 1991, Cape Town) uses video from IP cameras around the world as reference material for detailed and kinetic chalk pastel drawings. John Phalane (b. 1957, Tzaneen, Limpopo) uses colour pencils to create vivid geographical drawings and architectural impressions that bend conventional perspective. The exhibition speculates on the manipulation of physical space in their respective practices.

A series of works by Kundai Moyo titled Stranger Studies will be shown in the interim space between the atelier and the gallery. The series sets out to foreground human connection through the construction of scenarios that allow for moments of fleeting intimacy between strangers in public spaces.

A catalogue of works can be found here. For more information contact: info@gallerygallery.co.za
