Drawn Together, at MOK Gallery at Muratie in Stellebosch, is a continuation of the Diane Victor drawing course that was facilitated by Mok in May.
The intensive 5 day drawing course held by Diana Victor tested artists from across the country in their drawing approach and method.
Due to a powerful storm, they braced more than creative challenges when the whole class had to move their studio into the cellar. Every student brought their very unique expressions to the class – for example a sculpture representing their alter ego. These models were then interchanged and recontextualised. Every student also presented their work and creative journey.
By the end of the workshop the group left as creative community. Since then they have created an exceptional body of work.
The MOK Gallery is proud to be hosting this creative collective yet again this weekend.

MOK gallery is an abbreviation for modern kontemporêr, the Afrikaans for modern contemporary. This allows the gallery to exhibit all works from the modern era starting in the late 19th century to modern day art. The mission of the gallery is to give artists a platform from where their art can communicate, whether it be social, political, cultural or simply aesthetic. The gallery wants to contribute to a society where people have a better understanding of each other. Art assists in building cultural bridges, creating a better functioning society. Muratie has centuries of well preserved history and MOK gallery feels very much at home here. The gallery is located in Ansella’s house, dating from 1685. No pretension is necessary when authenticity is present. Visitors from all over flock to this beautiful piece of paradise, giving our artists the opportunity to expose their work. Art for MOK means something not ordinary, but the product of special skill and talent. We invite you to view all the artworks with an open mind and add value to your home with a piece that pleases you.
