If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to meet Lady Skollie, the artist that describes herself as the ‘infamous art dikbek’—then make sure you’re at the Good and Evil exhibition at CIRCA Gallery for Keyes Thursdays, on 6 June.
Good and Evil debuted on 30 May 2019 and highlights issues of gender, sex, lust, greed, consent and control.
Lady Skollie is renowned for her provocative work that confronts and breaks taboos. The artist will be showcasing her most recent works depicting her impressions of light and dark, violence and peace, through a biblical narrative.
‘n Skaans teen die donker (protection against the dark): I collect them all together under my arms, lifting us all up together, up and away from the past. 2019.
