Vivian Van Blerk , South Africa
"Memento Mori"
Vivian Van Blerk, La Clairiere, Sculpture ceramique, 65×65×70 cm.
A tribute to the recently deceased South African-born artist Vivian Van Blerk (1971-2024, Paris). His work combines ceramic sculptures, installations and photographs. Vivian Van Blerk was assiduously preparing her next solo show at the gallery on the theme of Archipelagos, which combine “Memento Mori” and nature’s resilience in the face of human destruction.
They conceal unique inner worlds and question the environment in a post-human future dominated by the rebirth of nature.
Solo show of Vivian Van Blerk
From May 22nd to June 5th, 2025
The gallery
The gallery is an authentic space for innovation, covering a wide variety of media - painting, sculpture, photography, video, architecture and fashion - open to international creations with an attraction to non-Western scenes, all guided by current concerns of poetic, sociological, historical and political nature.
Renowned for discovering young, emerging artists, the gallery contributes to the careers of influential international creators from specific horizons, from the Californian Light & Space movement to the various scenes in South Africa, North Africa and Asia, as well as the Caribbean and Guyanese scenes and related issues.
