Eclipse, puts on show two rising contemporary artists from South Africa.

Naina S., Nela Magazine, December 11, 2022

An upcoming exhibition organized by Galerie Artismagna in partnership with Undiscovered Canvas, Eclipse revolves around the perspectives of two South-African visual artists on identity, spirituality, and the feminine.

Whether stepping back into precolonial times and reinterpreting or reimagining the symbolism behind the ancestral ways of life and beliefs or exploring the possibilities beyond the normative narrative that lingers in the African continent since its colonial days, Lulama Wolf Mlambo and Nene Mahlangu share much more than being two female visual artists based in Johannesburg.

 

Yet, they certainly differ in their peculiar ways of expressing that source which guides them within their common context through their art and lives.

 

Just like the eclipse, which can be either solar or lunar, the two women invite the spectator into their respective universes to take a look at a common phenomenon in a different light.
