The Ndiza Gallery, located at Krystal Beach Hotel in Gordon’s Bay, presented the launch of First Brush, a solo exhibition by artist Andy Louw, on Saturday 7 February.
The exhibition challenges the notion that creativity belongs only to the young or the formally trained.
It features a collection of bold, intuitive paintings that serve as proof that invention can thrive entirely outside of traditional instruction.
Louw has turned to painting without the weight of formal training, resulting in what critics describe as an uninhibited engagement with colour and shape. His canvases are characterised by elemental and striking colours that fill the frame, and compositions that display a sophisticated balance, belying the artist’s lack of a formal background.
The “First Brush” in these works is not tentative but fearless, illustrating that creativity is truly timeless.
The exhibition, which will be on display until Tuesday 10 March, highlights how creativity can flourish at any stage of someone’s life, and so offering an inspiring look at Louw’s personal artistic journey.
