In celebration of life, growth, development and reinvention, Ardmore, in association with Christoff, will once again be bringing an exhibition to the public, at the beautiful Mount Nelson, a Belmond Hotel, in Cape Town, from 14 – 19 March 2022.
In many ways, it is a time of uncertainty both within our country and in the world. It is also a time of huge resilience, as the global community continues to build back from natural disasters and the pandemic. Within these trials, we have also witnessed deep compassion and community as people continue to step up, and show up for each other when it matters most.
This resilience is a journey, an invitation to constantly reinvent ourselves for the better, and it should be celebrated. In this case, we choose to celebrate through the gathering of people, the sharing of art, and most importantly, exhibiting the journey of Ardmore, which much like our personal lives, has been full of trials, tribulations and beautiful human evolution.
Ardmore’s journey is intertwined with a myriad of partnerships, friendships and muses. Christopher Greig is all three to Ardmore.
With a colour scheme of golds, black, creams and whites, expect to see Africa’s stunning fauna and flora emblazoned upon ceramics, endangered and emblematic animals sculptured into exhibition pieces, and as a tribute to love, the new Thanda fabric collection. Also, you can look out for the Bonnie Collection, which is a celebration of Bonnie Ntshalintshali’s life, and a symbolic reference to honouring past artists and the threads they wove into the tapestry of Ardmore’s 38-year journey thus far. A journey of inspiration, bravery, fragility and strength – much like the human experience right now.
