RENOWNED artist Hanneke Benadé invites you to experience her captivating new exhibition, Sense Of Place, opening at Union House in Cape Town on October 19, 2023. It will run until December 1.
For the past two decades, Benadé’s stunning pastel drawings have found their way into private homes and collections, both locally and abroad. Benadé’s signature style is characterised by her muse of powder pastels to create lifelike artworks. Unlike traditional art that aims to convey a specific message, her paintings invite viewers into a contemplative space, encouraging a personal dialogue between the artwork and the observer. In her own words, her art is akin to a silent movie or a freeze frame—a moment suspended in time.
In addition to these works, Sense Of Place includes a series of smaller “portraits” of everyday objects found in the artist’s surroundings. These objects, ranging from flowers to spoons and tableware, also have their unique places in the world, albeit within more confined and less defined spaces.
