WORLDART | The Right Moment

WORLDART is excited to announce the opening of "The Right Moment", a solo exhibition by Geena Wilkinson. This anticipated exhibition features a collection of Wilkinson's signature ceramic and resin artworks, alongside a new series of paintings that mark an exciting evolution in her artistic journey.

Known for her innovative use of materials, Geena Wilkinson has established herself as an artist to watch in contemporary South African art. In "The Right Moment" she continues to explore memory and nostalgia with the creation of artworks that feature resin and ceramic versions of the sweets we know and grew up with. These pieces, renowned for their intricate detail and unique finish, will be displayed alongside her latest venture into painting, offering a fresh perspective on her artistic vision.

‘Posed as a question, a precipice and a pursuit, Geena Wilkinson’s "The Right Moment" prompts of her viewers a utopian style of thinking; calling into question the primacy of commodity relations, and playfully imagining – though not without a degree of threat – an alternative, sweeter and more desirable future - Excerpt from text by Ellen Agnew.

"We are thrilled to host Geena Wilkinson's 2024 solo exhibition at WORLDART," said gallery director Charl Bezuidenhout. "Her ability to create artworks that trick the viewer into believing they are looking at the real thing, lead them down the path of nostalgia and then make them feel the impossibility of going back in time to experience something again, is very exciting.”

The physical show runs until 27th September 2024.
