Some pictures I managed to snap between everything else.
Elana arriving for the opening talk — clear, calm, and generous. The model as prism; witness and witnessed in one body.
The room holds still. Opening words land; attention becomes the first medium — quiet, collective, committed.
@elli_wahl_art with camera in hand (Nikon body, Canon cap); Owen (@psychostunt) just off her shoulder. Observation as participation; practice as presence.
Elli’s work shows next at Candice Berman Gallery (duo with Ingrid Uys) — 223 Jan Smuts Ave, Johannesburg — 8 November 2025.
Lean in, trace, test. Lines invite comparison; gestures invite care. The crowd draws with their eyes.
Low voices; lively interest. The kind of conversation that happens when one draws from life.
Cap, collar, quiet concentration. @artofkrjberry carries the same precision and restraint you’ll find in his drawings — tuned, tempered, attentive.
Mid-room rhythm: people, paper, pooled light. A social sketch in motion — neither static nor staged.
Threads and tangents. Comparison, correction, small disagreements. The works as meeting points, not pronouncements.
Street in, gallery out. The glass doubles everything. lifescape() keeps running.
After the talks: easy clusters, shared afterglow. No hierarchy — just attention and a bit of afternoon air.
lifescape() — a collaborative exhibition by Life Drawing Randburg, Stokvel Gallery, 27 Boxes Melville, 4–5 Oct 2025.
