Margot Gawith has a solo exhibition at The Cape Gallery opening on Sunday 21 January at 16:30 and the invitation reads “Welcome to nature’s wonder world as seen through the art works of Margot Gawith”.
“My whole life I have been inspired by nature, the colors and the shapes. My life centered around creating a garden which brought joy to myself and others. Many years ago, I was influenced by Francois Roux and latterly by Cyril Coetzee. As my eyesight deteriorated my paintings became more abstract in nature.” – Margot Gawith
At its core Margots work is her inner truth, her inner soul, being materialized and made immortal. And so, in this exhibition we get to celebrate her organic honesty and authenticity in each of her works. Many are not labored over, they are dreamt, remembered and referenced and produced in a couple of days. Bold strokes, highlighted by a dash of Margot’s signature cadmium red.
Margot calls herself an “intuitive painter”. It’s an apt and insightful description of self. But she is not just an intuitive painter. She is unique as a colourist. Her fabulous and bold use of colour is the most visible and striking feature of most of her work.
Lots of good reasons to visit The Cape Gallery before 2 February 2024!
