Never Let Me Go (2011) - Tom Cullberg
Next up at South African specialists Chagan Contemporary is a joint show from Tom Cullberg and Gabrielle Raaff. Swedish-born Cullberg studied in Cape Town, where he is now based; his paintings of figures set in broad colour fields are at once tender and slightly sinister. Meanwhile, Raaff’s ‘haikus in paint’, as she describes them, are delightfully concise watercolours which capture the transience of city life, seen from above as if from an open window or rooftop. Neither of these artists have shown in London before, so this is an exciting opportunity to check out some fresh South African talent on the up.
The show continues until 29th April.
