William Kentridge: Studio Life Series

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.

ONLINE EXCLUSIVE | Wilma Cruise: Thinking with Animals

Throughout her accomplished career, Wilma Cruise has skilfully developed a visual language that formalises her renderings of animals (realistic or stylised) as unique compositional elements that advance her storytelling. In this exhibition, viewers can remark on how Cruise is able to accomplish this in both two and three dimensions.
‘Thinking with Animals’ proves to be a testament to Cruise’s unwavering dedication to her craft and her beliefs. Her practice is a powerful reminder of the significance of a compassionate coexistence.

Summer Salon Show 2023

Summer Salon is a retrospective group exhibition that celebrates the artistic collaborations that have blossomed at David Krut Projects over the years. This showcase brings together a diverse group of artists, both local and international, whose works are filled with vitality and offer an acute reflection of the times in which we live. With an eclectic array of artists, Summer Salon provides a multifaceted arena of subject matter, inviting the audience to explore and contemplate dynamic narratives. 

Over the years, this space has fostered artistic exchange, resulting in an ever-evolving dialogue between artists, art lovers, and the broader creative community. Summer Salon pays tribute to this unique spirit by featuring a selection of artists who have, at various junctures, engaged with David Krut Projects. It is a testament to the enduring relationships and creative camaraderie that have flourished in this vibrant artistic environment. 

This curated selection is not bound by a singular theme or narrative. Instead, it serves as a multifaceted arena where artists present their unique viewpoints and interpretations of the world. From the introspections of the self to critical global dialogues – these artists, each with their distinctive voices and perspectives, have created artworks that capture the essence of our complex and ever-changing world. From dynamic abstract compositions to provocative figurative pieces, the exhibition aims to mirror the revitalising energy of a new season.  

Phumulani Ntuli ‘Kunanela iphuzu emafini / Echoes of the Point Cloud’

‘Kunanela iphuzu emafini / Echoes of the Point Cloud’, a new collaboration between Phumulani Ntuli and David Krut Projects, will debut at the FNB Art Joburg Fair, 2023. This project showcases Ntuli’s first series of intricate unique works on paper made using an old-fashioned printing press in collaboration with Kim-Lee Loggenberg at the David Krut Workshop in 2023, as well as large mixed media collages on canvas from the artist’s studio. ‘Kunanela iphuzu emafini / Echoes of the Point Cloud’ contains excerpts from South Africa’s history of motion pictures in collision with current point cloud data, automation, and synthesis bestowed by Artificial Intelligence.
