Part of the Neccesary Mutations

series where we have deconstricted

African curious and reinvented them

in new colours and forms

There’s an amazingly tactile

quality to the series of heads

produced by the talented

Ceramic Matters — some haunting,

some ethereal, each one unique in

its expression. Either wall mounted

or free standing

Pillows by Johannesburg artist Yda Walt

Each Felt Bolster or Cotton Scatter is different

and captures the spirit of the Mzansi streets.

These and Yda’s panels have been our best-sellers

at both our 44 Stanley & Arts on Main stores

Okechukwu Echere is a phenomenon. When I first came

across his work in Ghana two years ago, I was blown away,

not only by its dramatic scale, but also by the power of the

pieces and its commentary on adornment. Okey since came

to South Africa to be part of the DNA workshops I coordinated

with Trevyn McGowan, and we are privileged to have some of

his pieces in our 44 Stanley Store and at the All African Spaza

we run at Arts on Main. Contact us for more images of his work.

A lovely new experiment with

Mr Neng and his product, the

introdction of raffia and maybe

water hyacinth with the white

acrylic
