Patrick Rorke: A Collaboration with David Krut Workshop

David Krut Workshop presents a selection of works by Lesotho-based artist Patrick Rorke. Rorke completed a short residency at the David Krut Workshop in Arts on Main, Maboneng, Johannesburg in October 2020. There he explored the technique of painterly prints (monotypes) with the David Krut Workshop team of printers. The resultant body of work encapsulated Patrick’s experience in the cosmopolitan city of Johannesburg and told a story about the people he met during his stay. Patrick usually works on canvas and in clay, which makes this printmaking collaboration a first for him in many regards. For this exhibition, a selection of his latest paintings and monotypes are on show. Patrick Rorke is an artist and painter based in Morija, Lesotho. He has been active as an artist for over forty years and is considered a master of contemporary art in Lesotho. In Morija he runs a contemporary art gallery and frequently organizes exhibitions, workshops and educational outreach programs. His work is about his surroundings and the compelling but fragile existence of the people within this landscape.
