Gina Heyer, a
Master of Fine Art student at Stellenbosch University, will host her first
solo exhibition at iArt Gallery.
Comprising her
body of Masters work, the exhibition is concerned with subtle metaphysical
and uncanny aspects of seemingly ordinary and unoccupied interiors.
Playing with tensions between absence and presence, Heyer paints moments
of stasis between human comings and goings.

These spaces are both real and imagined, in which one is
not sure what has or is about to happen. Heyer achieves this mysterious
effect through discreetly negotiating the boundaries between the concepts
of reality, unreality, the sublime and the contemplative working with oils
and glazes on board and on a small and intimate scale to draw the viewer
in. The spaces are beautiful and calm but somewhat unnerving, temporary
and strange. As the rooms are vessels for our bodies to inhabit, the
paintings become chambers for the mind to contemplate.
