Calling all art lovers. The new exhibition at The Cape Gallery, titled Invocations, opens on 4 July.
An act of ‘Invocation’ is predicated by a shared perception. This communal agreed upon law or belief system holds with it, memories, hopes & expectations. These are formally framed in images, writing or using a set of recognisable coded symbols, rituals. Sometimes the Invocation is measured and courteous, at other times impetuous and demanding.
An artist’s ability to invoke ‘life’ in a work, to capture the ‘spirit‘of his subject and communicate his intention to the audience depends too on his capacity to share his view, achieve acclaim and the support of a receptive public.
