David Kuijers and Tania Babb have been exhibiting together at The Cape Gallery since 2005. Their graphic styles and witty subject matter have successfully entertained and enticed viewers during the December months.  Â
David Kuijers will aspire to elevate the viewer beyond the stresses of everyday life with his refreshingly light-hearted paintings for the December 2014 exhibition. In a world riddled with humdrum responsibilities and pursuits for real and lasting happiness, David finds clarity in his unadulterated humour. His art making process provides a form of escapism that allows him to appreciate the small pleasures in life.
David has been working as a full time artist since 1999, having studied graphic design and illustration at Cape Tecknikon and working in the field for some time before pursuing art. His notable commissions include work for The President Hotel; Sea Point, The Radisson Hotel; Granger Bay, Constantia Medi Clinic, Tiger Brand Food Head Offices, Dole Export, Prices Food and, Da Vinci Hotel; Johannesburg.
Tania Babb’s primary interest lies with people and their relationships to themselves, to others and to animals. Porcelain and clay are wonderfully malleable media which allow Tania to unleash her imagination and convey subtle gestures that reveal the nature of these relationships.
Tania is a successful ceramist with a graphic design background. Her sculptures have been displayed both locally and internationally, including exhibitions held in France, Korea, Germany, London and USA, among others. Her work reached the finals of the Brett Kebble Art Awards in 2003.
