‘In [the] Loop’ is the first exhibition of 2021 at Ebony/Curated, Cape Town and focuses on new artworks by 11 exceptional artists.
Many of the artists in this Summer Exhibition would normally have been included in our booths at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair, usually scheduled to take place around mid-February. Whilst most Art Fairs have been delayed until later in 2021, artists keep creating and still need opportunities to exhibit to a physical audience as much as possible.
The exhibition will include, amongst others, Kelechi Nwaneri’s ‘Can’t Let Go’. Artsy highlighted Kelechi in November 2020 as one of 15 artists from the continent “on the rise”. We will also be showing pieces by John Newdigate and Zemba Luzamba, both of whom have achieved notable auction records for contemporary artists from Africa in the past 6 months. Aviwe Plaatjie’s magnificent ‘Sithi Aba’ (see below) is a precursor to his highly anticipated solo exhibition at EBONY/CURATED in May 2021.

“We are also delighted to be releasing a new embroidered panel entitled ‘Solitude III’ by Kimathi Mafafo, another artist recently highlighted by Artsy in “Trends to Watch” in 2021. Following a sold-out solo exhibition in 2020 and recent exhibits in Paris and Munich, Hugh Byrne gives us ‘Fluster’ – another radical experiment in painting, highlighting the artist’s continued investigation into structure and colour.”
Strict COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place.
