Ateljeebesoeke: GUS-galery

GUS gallery, corner of Dorp and Bird Street

Kabous Hanslam
Kabous Hanslam is a contemporary artist specialising in painting
and sculpture. His work interrogates the queer body as “houkamer” (holding room) with entry wounds to memory, desire, and shame.

Ron Sauerman
Ron Sauerman is a bookbinder and fine artist working across painting and bookmaking. His practice explores the body through found materials, objects and book structures. Rooted in his transmasculine experience, his work examines how bodies are read and felt through skin, texture, vulnerability and the spaces our bodies take up.

Ulriche Jantjes
Ulriche Jantjes employs painting and printmaking to reflect on heritage and identity, as manifested in place. With roots in Elim, a Moravian mission settlement in the Overberg, she draws abiding yet fluid connections between this terrain and her sense of heritage and belonging. Her work is deeply personal, but through her ruminative rendering in oils, it also achieves a sense of the universal and almost mythical, inviting the viewer to contemplate their own place, past and present.

Vincent Engelbrecht
Engelbrecht brings his ideas to life through printmaking and drawing, especially copperplate etching. His work explores the dream world and magical realism. He makes his ideas a reality through bodily experiences and believes in the internalized wisdom of the hand.
