Anything but Static

A selection of modern and contemporary Still Life

This exhibition bridges the gap between historical tradition and contemporary investigation. Still life, as an idea, continues to be explored today. While the classic motifs of flowers, fabrics, and food remain, the subject matter can be representative of personal, cultural, mythological, religious and philosophical themes. This selection of works – both historical and contemporary – explores how one can capture and comment on identity, culture, mythology, beliefs and views through the use of iconography, symbols and objects.

The exhibition brings together a distinguished selection of artworks from the Kilbourn Collection, the Caro Wiese Collection, the Sanlam Art Collection, and other important art collections.
