In a world that feels increasingly fast, fragmented and uncertain, ROOTED invites a return – to ground, to body, to breath. ROOTED explores the importance of grounding ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally. It considers what it means to stand steady amidst movement and to remain anchored while the world shifts around us.

The Gallery presents DE/MATERIALIZE, a contemporary group exhibition bringing together textile art, painting, sculpture, drawing, and mixed media. Running from 5 February to 23 March, the exhibition explores transformation; what happens when materials shift, soften, unravel, or are reimagined, and how meaning can deepen in that process.

As the year draws to a close and the festive season gathers us together, we find ourselves returning to familiar faces, familiar places, and familiar feelings. NOSTALGIA, The Gallery’s summer exhibition, invites both artist and viewer to linger in this tender space between memory and presence.

In collaboration with First Thursdays at The Studios Immersion is a two-month-long journey into the heart of presence, where visitors are invited to step away from life’s constant rush and fully engage with the art around them.

In a world that constantly reshapes itself through cycles of collapse and restoration, REVIVAL invites both artists and viewers to reflect on what it means to begin again, mend or emerge anew.

In collaboration with First Thursdays at the Studios Biophilia brings together a curated selection of local artists whose work reflects the profound impact nature has on our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

As part of our Periphery exhibition, The Gallery invited artists to share their creative process and the ideas behind their work. Durban-based artist Ashley Mets reflects on her shift from realism to illustration and the inspiration behind her collection Femme Muse.

For Jane Digby, Periphery is the threshold, that fleeting pause between past and future. In conversation, she described how her oil paintings explore this liminal spaces, balancing chaos with calm, memory with hope.

Sharon has been working in pottery for 35 years. Early in her career, while running a business in Pilgrim’s Rest, her work focused on functional kitchenware. But after moving to KZN six and a half years ago to be closer to her children, Sharon shifted her practice to more decorative creations.

Asked about Periphery, Darren Reddy spoke of marginalized people once pushed to society’s edge. His charcoal and acrylic works bring those voices into focus, reflecting on freedom, democracy and the power of representation.
