The Waterkant Gallery announces its opening on Monday, 23
November from 5pm to 8pm. The opening will be hosted at the gallery,
located at 123 Waterkant Street, Waterkant, Cape Town. In the coming
months, exhibitions will feature the works of new and emerging African
talent, as well as more established artists.
“Through setting up the Waterkant Gallery, I was able to
fulfil a long-standing desire of launching a base from which to promote
and develop African talent both in Cape Town and internationally,” says
Matthew White, Director and owner of the Waterkant Gallery.
Matthew spent over ten years in a corporate career, yet
throughout this time, he was keen to explore opportunities to develop his
interest in art into a new career. The Waterkant Gallery is the platform
from which he will promote African art talent to local and international
markets.

The inaugural show will feature a solo presentation by
Belgian-born photographer Dominique Logan. The exhibit, entitled “Deep
South,” captures the spirit, beauty and energy of Cape Town and its
surrounds. Dominique has been living and working in South Africa for over
14 years and has successfully carved out a career in metal design and
sculpture.
Next year the Waterkant Gallery will be making its
international debut at both the New York and London Affordable Art Fairs
in May and October respectively.
The gallery will open its doors to the public on Tuesday 24
November. Exhibition hours are from 10h30-18h30 from Mondays to Fridays,
10h00-14h00 on Saturdays and 12h00-16h00 on Sundays and public holidays.
The Waterkant Gallery will stock a selection of iconic
international photographic books alongside African titles. Additionally,
custom-printed greetings cards, some featuring exhibition images, will be
available.
