Unlike previous exhibitions, “Sum of its parts” features fragments of figures and faces as though they are too big to fit on the canvas. The portraits are bursting out from the restraints of the canvas edges. They don’t want to fit “inside the box”.

Marna Hattingh

The exhibition Each Their Own Wilderness travels between a hybrid of fine art, literature and the complexities of contemporary life. Each Their Own Wilderness(1959) by distinguished British play write Doris Lessing, inspired the artist Marna Hattingh. It articulates her interrogation of the collective emotions of contemporary life, her work is simultaneously humorous and serious, rendering it poignant and engaging.

 

Marna Hattingh

South African artist, Marna Hattingh’s travels between a hybrid of fine art, literature and the complexities or contemporary life. She interrogates and articulates its collective emotions and has developed a highly unique and sought-after style, strongly influenced by an Asian sensibility and her experience as an illustrator, blending wry humour and social comment into playful palettes with a serious undertone. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic range including media, fashion, history and fictional novels, her finely drawn characters jump, dance and spin across timeless, patterned backgrounds. Each painting is extensively worked and contains its own complex narrative.
