David Krut Publishing and Arts Resource
The new site is live and I have agreed to, for a small fee, be web-editor on David’s sites.
Took some photographs at the very pleasant opening of Monotypes by Colbert Mashile at DK, (will upload these shortly) even engaged in a few interesting conversations and had Je’anna and Bo drop in to say hi.
Richard’s opening talk did a great job of expressing the character of printmaking and shed some light on Colbert’s approach, though David did point out that Richard’s referring to prints as 2 dimensional art could be argued against.
Colbert’s works are, to my eye, all visually pleasing, sophisticated colour systems, some bold, some subdued. They certainly have some emotional content, the show seems to strike a kind of balance between humour and audacity initially, leading to works containing somewhat disturbing content, all tied together in a feeling of ritual and mystery. Figurative and subtle iconography, visually accessible yet with ample space for interpretation and conversation.
They don’t particularly speak to my personal taste.
(Still sad that i had to miss the Kentridge book launch)
