A weekly round-up of South Africa’s creative community and projects by Between 10and5 included 2 creatives from Cape Town.
Liani van der Westhuizen, creative director of Spier Architectural Arts
With a background in architecture, Liani van der Westhuizen furthered her career abroad beginning with a postgraduate study in “design for development”. Later she became involved in a range of educational and community development projects. Spier Architectural Arts offered a good merger between her passion for the built environment, and cross-pollination between creative practices. As the creative director, van der Westhuizen oversees the various studios, artists and designers in curating and producing site-specific and large-scale art interventions.
Gabrielle Guy, a graphic designer specialising in the layout of art books
Gabrielle Guy
Book design is a kind of art in and of itself, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the case of art publication design – a field in which Cape Town-based graphic designer, Gabrielle Guy, specialises. According to her belief that good design is simple and obvious, her aesthetic leans toward the minimal. Actively involved in the process from start to finish, Guy has worked on art publications with esteemed South African artists including Zander Blom, Brett Murray and Zanele Muholi and, over the years, has developed a reputation for her careful attention to detail and her considered approach.
