Save the date and join us for INTIMACY, a solo exhibition by Lisette Forsyth which opens on Saturday 20 February 2021 //  View in your browser

a solo exhibition by 

LISETTE FORSYTH

20 February – 13 March 2021
opening event Saturday 20 February 11am – 3pm

StateoftheART is delighted to present INTIMACY, our first exhibition for 2021, and Lisette Forsyth’s fourth solo with the gallery.

“Intimacy transcends the physical, reaching across gender, race and species. It defies and includes science. Expressed in touch or a mere glance that speaks a thousand words. The faith that it is safe to expose the dark and vulnerable. To be reflected in a light of love.
Love thyself, and be loved.” – Lisette Forsyth

In INTIMACY, Lisette explores intimate and private relationships between people, places, and things; those quiet, perfect, shared private moments — those brief, unnameable instances where everything fits, no doubts or questions exist, and all seems safe and good.

For the opening event on the 20th of February, Lisette will be inviting people to sit with her for an intimate moment in conversation.

Booking is essential as space is limited: we will be hosting small group viewings from 11:00am till 3:00pm – to allow for current physical distancing protocols. Visitor numbers inside the gallery will be limited to a maximum of 10 at 30 minute intervals. Due to strong demand we recommend booking a viewing slot using the RSVP link below.

Please note the wearing of masks is mandatory for all visitors to the gallery.

I used a house plan as that is where we are confined to stay at present; needing to re-evaluate, make changes, and adapt to the times we are in. It is a letter of application to the local municipality – just as we now, more than ever, find ourselves strictly controlled by the State as to what is essential and what we can or cannot do.
The close confines of our homes forces us to look deeply at our intimate relationships and establish our allies. We are in this together: we all feel vulnerable and the need for comfort and reassurance like small children.

21 Days. 21 Artists. 21 Impacts.
The story of the South African lockdown, told through the virtual artists of the country.

Street Art is an integral part of social change, promoting a subtle shift in the ideologies of the public by mobilizing the tactic of subliminal messaging.
