Art Rooted in Nature: Day Sale

Timed Online Auction, 7 - 25 June 2024

Celebrating Hermanus Fynarts Festival with Intethe Gallery
About the Session

In celebration of the Hermanus Fynarts Festival 2024, Strauss & Co is proud to feature a selection of works curated by Intethe Gallery, Hermanus. The gallery was established in 2015 by Barbara Lindop, a legendary figure who has devoted over 45 years to identifying the extraordinary talent of Southern African artists. Lindop is perhaps best known for the work on Gerard Sekoto, one of South Africa’s most important modernist artists. Twenty–two artworks across the Day and Evening auctions are from Intethe Gallery’s collective. Barbara Lindop notes, "These artists, united in their common purpose, create aesthetic and relevant artistic commentary on contemporary sociopolitical concerns. Their work is poetic, powerful, and thought-provoking."

The auction will feature pieces addressing global warming, cultural practices, the beauty and spirituality of the natural world, political commentary, and the celebration of humanity. These themes are conveyed through various mediums including texture, line, colour planes, sculptural and ceramic forms. Lindop emphasises, "It is the privilege of the Gallery to assist in promoting these artists."

Notes

"Gcina Maduna is a self-taught artist specialising in pastel and, more recently, exploring the effects of mixed media. His lifelong love of jazz and its musicality is evident in his compositions combined with his unique colour intuition. The explosive colour contrasts in Surrendered convey energy, movement and syncopated sound. A static moment in time is transformed into visual melody."—Barbara Lindop
