William Kentridge: Studio Life Series

July 11, 2021

For William Kentridge, COVID-19 lockdown was an opportunity to re-examine his own artistic practice and the very nature of the creative process. Kentridge has dedicated himself to making a series of films called Studio Life focusing on the place of production, confinement and sanctuary for an artist: the studio. A series of photogravure images, each directly connected to a film, is being created simultaneously in collaboration with David Krut Workshop.

Featured Viewing Rooms

‘Ex Terra Etcetera’ by Lynda Ballen

March 9, 2023

David Krut Projects presents ‘Ex Terra Etcetera’, an exhibition by Lynda Ballen.
The materiality of the artwork has long been the focus of Lynda Ballen’s practice. Now, with the ubiquitous presence of digital images, she makes a strong claim for the enduring value of the physical artwork. This new body of work presents drawings on handmade paper, oil paintings on board and etchings, all of which emphasise the significance of the ‘handmade’, and stress that the materials of the works are substances yielded from the Earth – hence the title ‘Ex Terra Etcetera’.

‘Marginalia’ by Nina Torr

March 3, 2023

Marginalia presents a body of surrealist oddities, which take notes from natural and cultural history, myth and folklore, specimen collections and historical book objects, created in such a way as to impart our current realities of digital screens and windows.

Roxy Kaczmarek – ‘Shifting Positions’

October 5, 2022

David Krut Projects is pleased to present Shifting Positions, a solo exhibition of prints, paintings and installation by Roxy Kaczmarek.

Kaczmarek is a committed ecological artist who has consistently examined the intersections between the natural world and manmade environments. The invisible push and pull which causes disruption but also evolution and adaption in these interconnecting landscapes is what drives her inquiry through printmaking and painting.

Peter Cohen – ‘Colour in black and white’

September 7, 2022

David Krut Projects is pleased to present ‘Colour in black and white’ a solo exhibition of first works by Peter Cohen. In many of Cohen’s paintings and drawings, fine lines and a meticulous construction of shapes in shades of grey produce a sort of ‘bitmap’ image that defines a display space and colour for each ‘pixel’ in the work.
