/TRIPLE POST PT. III-ZANDER BLOM
I'm going to have to cheat with this part of my triple post... However, I do have a valid reason...The smell of the paint sculpturally 'stacked' onto the giant canvasses and the feeling of being overwhelmed by their size and magnitude all forms part of the experience...
That is why I am only giving you a sneak peak..Just a corner of an image so that if you're in the Johannesburg vicinity, you'll go and experience this phenomenal exhibition of Zander Blom's new paintings yourself... I'm not going to try say more about the show because it's all about the gut feeling and the over all experience... so here is just a sneak peek... Go see the exhibition at Stevenson gallery in Braamfontein...It's on until the 9th of December..
To make you more curious ...here's another grainy phone pic to keep the mystery alive...

/TRIPLE POST PT.II - JONAH SACK
I'm a huge fan of Cape Town based artist Jonah Sack... He is one of the artist who makes me feel what I assume people on ecstasy would feel like when at a rave...lovely comparison...what I'm trying to get to is that his work has a huge effect on me. Anyways, Sack recently had a solo at the established JHB based gallery Art on Paper. I made sure not to miss it and also took some pics... Please do yourself the favour and visit the official Art on Paper site because their photos of Sack's work will be less amateur and will probably depict the works more truthfully then my lo-fi phone pics do.... The immense detail and precision of his mark making is also not captured well in these pics, so there's another reason why you need to experience his work one on one..

//3 months later...
Wow..I see it's been 3 months again since my last post. Saying that time flies would be too much
of a cliche, so let me resort to saying that i'm getting older and the days are getting shorter (oh wait, a cliche replaced by a cliche)...
Nonetheless, I've found something blog worthy, which is what usually determines my posting schedule. In fact I will make this a triple post to catch up for the last 3 months! I hope this makes us even...
First and foremost...
My favourite net artist Rafaël Rozendaal has created a new piece of .net art...It's pretty straight
forward, but I guarantee you that it will help hours pass quickly...
Best part is that it (as net art usually is -duh) ineractive, and requires your mouse-clicks for it to evolve....
Here are some screen grabs directly pirated from one of my favourite blogs today and tomorrow...
