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.

  Handmade Business Marketing: Tips to Grow Your Craft Sales Explore effective marketing tips for handmade businesses. Learn how to create a strong brand, market your products, and grow your craft sales both online and offline. I remember when I decided to craft and sell my recycled art objects, it was scary because I didn't know how to go about it. I spent time creating craft items that would stay in my storage for months because I felt they were not good enough, until I joined Pinterest in 2013 and that changed. I understood immediately that the internet is indeed a level playing field and "beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder".  The more I blogged about my craft and posted on pinterest the more the views increased and people shared their ideas with me. No one is alone in this journey people need what you are selling they just need more convincing and consistency from us. Marketing your handmade business effectively is essential for attracting customers, increa...

Contemporary African art is often discussed through the language of culture, heritage, identity and social experience. But what happens when the artist turns the gaze away from the external world and towards the psychological spaces within?                                              For Nigerian visual artist and educator Klaranze Okhide, that interior territory becomes the subject of Solitude, a body of work examining memory, identity, vulnerability, trauma and psychological transformation. Solitude as a psychological condition Okhide does not pr...

Abstract Art Silhouettes by Miabo Enyadike

Abstract Art Silhouettes My practice in Abstract Expressionism is rooted in color as a force of identity rather than decoration.  Through what I define as Abstract Silhouette Art, I strip the human figure of literal detail and reconstruct it through saturated, expressive color fields. I am particularly drawn to the tension between presence and absence.  Traditional silhouettes rely on darkness to define form, but my work deliberately disrupts this logic.  I replace shadow with luminosity, transforming what is typically obscure into something vivid, animated, and impossible to ignore.  In doing so, I challenge the viewer’s expectation of how the human form should be perceived and understood. The silhouette, for me, is not a reduction of identity but an expansion of it.  By removing physical specificity, I create space for psychological, emotional, and symbolic readings to emerge.  Color becomes the language through which these identities are constructed...
