Joburg fringe Art exhibition weekend by Miabo Enyadike

Joburg fringe Art exhibition weekend

The Joburg Fringe 2016, Art show has come and gone with an exciting bang.

             

 As an Abstract Artist who participated in this show it was a marvelous experience, exhibiting in 

an industrial setting, at the heart of Joburg inner city known as the Maboneng Precinct.

 Which is also an Art and creative hub in South Africa. Interacting with other Artist

Works by Richard Ketley and Logo Oluwamuyiwa

 and understanding their influence and inspiration behind their Art was key for me.

 I was particularly fascinated by Howard Smith, a very soft spoken Artist from New York, whose very mini abstract art paintings where pure and captured my imagination. 

                       Works by Howard Smith.

 I just kept going back and forth to view his work.

 I enjoyed the diversity in the Art and creative performance by a South African folklore story teller who for the duration of the

                       Performance Artist Lisahluma narrating a folk lore

 exhibition held people spellbound by her

ability to create true life experiences into

a one woman art of narratives, that we can all relate too.

                    Video Art, curated by Dean Hutton

 and the video art which was thought provoking to say the least, had it's share of viewers and critics.

 It was an interactive and networking

 4 days for me and I truly enjoyed myself, and met new people that opened my eyes to Art in another dimension. 

Thanks to the Joburg Fringe team for the opportunity.

1 DAY..... TO JOBURG FRINGE ART SHOW

          JOBURG FRINGE ART SHOW 

One day to the Joburg fringe Art show and it is truly exciting since it will run alongside Joburg Art fair. I will be one of the Artist exhibiting alongside several brilliant Artists.
I'm eager to see their works and meet them, so that in itself is exciting to me.

The work I’m proposing for the fringe exhibition, is abstract art about faces, hence the title FACES UNKNOWN. It is an abstract rendition of women and men’s faces in silhouettes referencing faces of people we work with, family and people we deal with on a day to day basis or people that attract our attention but are detached from our own reality yet they affect us.. Interacting with people is something I enjoy doing. I try to imagine what their silhouettes in abstract art would look like with reference to their character, demeanor, facial expressions, life situations and occupation.

As an artist, my curiosity to create these Ink based abstract art paintings, stems from a need to see people from another perspective free of facial features and all the seriousness that goes with portraits. This thought has informed the basis for this series.

So I share with you some of my work that will be on Show at the Exhibition. I have inserted them in the press release Enjoy.
