Framing the Body in Motion
223 Jan Smuts Creative Hub

Joburg Ballet teams up with Candice Berman Gallery to launch its first photographic exhibition, Framing the Body in Motion, featuring acclaimed South African photographer Kamogelo Machaba and artists of Joburg Ballet. Presented during Joburg Ballet's 25th Anniversary year, the exhibition captures a moment in the company's history, documenting a diverse generation of dancers who embody Joburg Ballet today and beyond. Curated by Artistic Director Dane Hurst in collaboration with Kamogelo Machaba (with support from Fujifilm) and fashion label BAM of BAM Collective, the exhibition will showcase the company through photography, fashion, colour and movement.

When Light Meets Hope
223 Jan Smuts Creative Hub
223 Jan Smuts, Rosebank

Solomon Omogboye paints life as it is actually lived: imperfect, unpredictable, and full of moments worth holding onto. He builds his figures from long, woven strokes of colour laid down in thick, energetic patches. Each figure sits inside a veil of moving light.

Omogboye works by breaking a composition into the separate elements that carry emotion, knowing that the smallest shift in one can change the feeling of the whole. The result is a figure that holds many things at once: concern and wonder, effort and joy.

In When Light Meets Hope, light becomes the thread that runs through it all. These paintings don't pretend the journey is easy. They show people moving through it with courage, curiosity and gratitude, and they suggest that hope is often a matter of how we choose to look.

Candice Berman Gallery

At Candice Berman Gallery, we view the world with a curious eye – a curiosity that drives our selection of artists. Our fascination is with the cultural and personal narratives behind the works, which the artists infuse into their expressions. We believe it’s our calling to support the development of our artists and create novel opportunities for their work to be shared with the country and the world. The gallery was established in 2013, and is now located at the new 223 Jan Smuts Creative Hub alongside Berman Contemporary, The Creatory, Magicode | USM, Something Good Studio, and Romaria.
