Just above the mantelpiece
Karin Preller at ArtSpaceIn 'Just above the mantelpiece', Johannesburg-based Karin Preller returns to still life, with paintings that speak of collection and display; of dialogues unexpectedly set up by an idiosyncratic collection of objects. Known mainly for her photo-based paintings referencing pictorial archives such as family albums, home movies and photo magazines, still life has remained an ongoing interest. A particular 'photographic' way of seeing continues to play a role in that photographs taken by the artist become a means to further defamiliarise the objects depicted.
