Paul Senyol (Cape Town) Represented by Salon 91
& Wesley van Eeden (Durban)
Opening reception: April 11th, 7pm
Show runs: April 11th - May 25th, 2013
For the upcoming show titled "Transformative" Paul Senyol and Wesley van Eeden explored the notions of reality and society in a constant stage of change. Van Eeden was taken by the idea of how something we do today will have a certain influence on the way we live tomorrow, next week, a month from now and for many years to come. Trying to grapple for a grasp on the present moment, we find ourselves in eternal stages of change. Senyol took a deeper look at the very fabric of his everyday life and those who orbit his existence as a starting point for working towards a final outcome.
