ArtThrob is launching a new edition by Turiya Magadlela

Turiya Magadlela is well known for her abstract compositions which stretch, cut, stitch and reconfigure fabrics with loaded symbolic histories, such as pantyhose and correctional service uniforms. These works draw our attention to the everyday and often invisibilied violences mobilised against Black South Africans, women in particular. Experimenting with printmaking techniques for the first time, Magadlela and the team at Danger Gevaar Ingozi Studio in Johannesburg have created two screen prints using Magadlela’s signature stretched nylon. The resulting works are colourful abstractions that seem to put questions of femininity under the microscope. Each 70 x 70cm 4-colour screenprint on Fabriano 285 gsm is an edition of 25. R10,000 each, R18,000 for both. Please email keely@artthrob.co.za to inquire.
