Listening to Distant Thunder: the art of Peter Clarke

Peter Clarke at Standard Bank Gallery

Currently at the Standard Bank Gallery in Johannesburg is 'Listening to Distant Thunder: The art of Peter Clarke'. The exhibition, which runs until 2 July 2011, is aimed at honouring Clarke's life, work and contribution to art and cultural development in South Africa.

The exhibition traces the career of this seminal yet oft-overlooked South African artist, from his earliest works as a soci-politically sensitive teenager on the Cape Flats to his ambitious, large-scale paintings an a mature artist.

The exhibition is accompanied by a book of the same title, by curators Philippa Hobbs and Elizabeth Rankin. The culmination of seven years of extensive research, the book traces Clarke's evolution and is a comprehensive account of his art.

04 May - 02 July
