Stone, Steel and Glass (III). Original oil painting.

$0.00
Private Collection

This painting shows the Zeitz MOCAA building in Cape Town, South Africa, reflected in an adjacent glass building.

This is the third in a series featuring urban landscapes and architecture that make for interesting art. The six-piece set focuseson the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art (MOCAA) in Cape Town's Waterfront precinct. This museum and the Silo Hotel above it were built into an old grain silo that has been modernized and given a unique look with faceted windows. I was drawn to the contrasting textures in the building - stone-like concrete, smooth metal and reflective glass, that interplay to form a diamond-like beacon in the landscape.

But what really did it for me while photographing it that Sunday morning was turning around and being stunned by its perfect, patterned reflection in the glass building next door. This painting is the result - a truly material abstraction of the physical and functional museum building, made up of lines, squares, triangles, trapezoid, ovals and cylinders, blended with some of the interior of the mirror facade. While looking into one building, you're overwhelmed by another, and the converging window lines lend a sense of vertigo. This series explores the sense of kenopsia - the strange feeling we get in normally busy places when there’s nobody about - that these liminal spaces can evoke.

October 2022. 50cm x 75cm (20” x 30”).

Oil on 3mm primed Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) panel.
