There is always a certain electricity around new work arriving at the gallery. Fresh ideas still carrying the energy of the studio. Paint still vivid with immediacy. New directions emerging in artists’ practices before they become familiar. For many art lovers, this is where the real excitement lies — discovering a work before everyone else does.
This collection brings together the latest contemporary artworks to arrive at StateoftheART, featuring original paintings, limited edition prints, sculpture, ceramics and works on paper by some of South Africa’s most compelling contemporary artists.
Here you may encounter the unique map-based works of Lisette Forsyth, the playful visual language of Claude Chandler, the striking pop portraiture of Corne Eksteen, or the quiet material sensitivity of artists such as Jo Roets and Karla Nixon - amongst others. The collection shifts constantly as new works are released and others quickly find homes in private collections.
