DKW Update Aug 2006 - Nov 2006 PART FOUR

13th November 2006 by Jillian Ross

Engels and Whitehead were invited into the studio in early 2006 for an introduction to etching. Since we knew that both were from creative backgrounds in set design and acting, we highly anticipated the outcome and have not been disappointed. Johan began a series of etchings that draw inspiration from a project on the TRC that he has been working on during his recent visits to SA, and Robert playfully explored layered mark making for portraiture. During Johan’s last visit to JHB, a new idea about collaboration began to emerge, though we are all still slightly baffled as to how it will evolve, and the two artists are not doing anything to allay our curiosity other than to drop hints of ideas and murmurs of mayhem.
