Your blogger, dear reader, is still marooned in the land of wordlessness. Fortunately some watercolours have been coming out of the studio. Here are the four new ones, to be exhibited at Bamboo in Melville this weekend.

J H Pierneef’s Station Panels are cornerstones of South African landscape painting. They were placed in the old Johannesburg Station as adverts to travel the country.
But did these alluring places ever really exist? And how have they changed?
Taking up the invitation to travel 80 years later, Carl Becker set off to find out.

Hi dear Carl,
You should pop in at the Standard Bank Art Gallery where one of our contemporary artists has used Pierneef extensively. But you more likely know this!!!
Cheerio,

Hi Cati – I know about Wayne Barker’s work of course. Also Ryan Arenson. Anyone else I should know of? I’m going to do a posting about them soon. Would love to visit the Gallery again – but I am in Hermanus. Next time in Joburg.
