BREAKING SURFACE – February 4, 2015
BREAKING SURFACE
Breaking Surface draws from inherent capabilities and inexhaustible capacities of several artists. This
exhibition is conceptualized to usher in the year with visual metaphors and fresh sensibilities that
audiences in Port Elizabeth has not interacted with.
The exhibition seeks to project the multimedia dimensions and the dexterity of the artists in
foretelling, re-enacting or imaging of our complexities through paintings, photography, ceramics and
sculptures. The context of this exhibition is also to present unification of diversity and to visually
propound that in the broader appeal, a community with variant voices is not necessarily at
disparities with itself.
Breaking Surface exhibition is inspired by the culture that blurs genres, it swings between facts and
fiction. The dynamic physicality and perspectives in the artworks combine to evoke impressions that
will linger in the mind.
