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.

Latitudes Art Fair

May 16, 2023

Join us at this weekend’s Latitudes Arts Fair, where we join over 40 galleries and 250 artists in the idyllic Joburg escape, Shepstone Gardens. David Krut Projects is pleased to present the work of three young female artists – Heidi Fourie, Mbali Tshabalala and Anna van der Ploeg, with unique and editioned works on paper made in collaboration with David Krut Workshop.

Anna van der Ploeg ‘Omens in hot bacon contradiction’

May 9, 2023

‘Omens in hot bacon contradiction’ is a new body of work by Anna van der Ploeg created in the David Krut Workshop in Johannesburg. Comprising oil paintings, sculptural woodblocks, and new collaborative etching editions and unique paintings on paper, van der Ploeg continues to probe notions of performativity, concealment, and tenderness in social interactions. Through seemingly mundane objects such as the table and pull-tab poster, she evokes elements of performance and ritual in our everyday lives, attempting to reveal the ‘mercurial undercurrents’ of the interplay between people.

‘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.
