Between light and language: The art of Lars Elling

Acclaimed Norwegian artist and writer Lars Elling is set to debut his first South African exhibition, "Dreams of Reason," at the Everard Read Gallery in Franschhoek on April 11, 2026. The collection features works created during his annual five-month residencies at the De Rust farm in Elgin, home of Paul Clüver Family Wines. The exhibition marks a significant shift in Elling’s palette, moving from the muted greys of Norway to the vibrant ochres and blues of the Western Cape, while exploring the liminal psychological space between sleep and wakefulness.

New exhibition showcases 20 years of work by Welsh artist

Artist Anthony Shapland has opened a solo exhibition titled "Liar Liar" at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, just one month after the publication of his debut novel, "A Room Above a Shop." The show spans twenty years of his practice, featuring works in text, sculpture, books, print, audio, and film, with the earliest piece dating from 2005 and the most recent created within the last month. The exhibition blurs the lines between writing and visual art, drawing on hidden filmmaking techniques such as props, filters, light, and sound, while also exploring themes of rural queerness, passing, and the malleability of landscape. Key works include the films "A Setting" (2007), "A Sign," "FiftytwoSundays" (2018), "Between the Dog and the Wolf" (2019), "Centre A Sound not Meant to be Heard," and the new montage "Seven Starling" (2025).
