Red Illumination
'Red Illumination', powder coated aluminium, Height 2 metres.
Andre Stead’s eagerly anticipated ‘Red Illumination’ has arrived at the
gallery. Red is the colour of passion! A ballet dancers passion for her art
is beautifully depicted in this powerful sculpture. ‘Red Illumination’
showcases a dancing figure suspended in a pirouette, poised on the edge
of her balance. Her upper body pulls into a directional distortion of form
that emphasizes her apparent movement. On the figure’s back is a
jagged line that forms a continuous edge around the internal and
external surface of the artwork. This line represents the boundary
between the conscious and subconscious mind, each dependent on the
other for balance, and continuously influencing one another.

LOUIS NEL 17.8.13
17.8.13, Oil on canvas, 120 x 150 cm
Before the dawn of a new day, when stillness greets and freshness
defines one’s state of mind, these are periods of contemplation,
reflection and peace. Gazing upon the soft landscapes and seascapes of
Louis Nel’s work transports one to that quiet contemplative state. His
works employ soft lines and muted tones, nothing in them captures the
thought processes into a form or appearance. This characteristic of his
work is what allows the mind to drift, drift where it may go, to form
associations and to heighten sensations and emotions like a grand piece
of music.
