Threads of Land

Subject Matter Art is delighted to introduce the work of Balekane Legaobe and Amy Ayanda Lester to LUMI Gallery.
This exhibition includes their individual works, as well as a number of collaborative pieces, and three limited edition prints.
A constant theme in both artists’ work is a deep connection to the land, a subject which is woven throughout the exhibition. Balekane’s work explores the interdependent relationships between humanity and the natural world, while Amy honours the beauty of the local landscape while grappling with the grief of displacement.
These small, intimate works draw the viewer closer, so we can experience the magic of the artists’ ideas. Rather than be created for awe and drama, they are instead a place of calm and warmth. Just as our world grows more fractured, Balekane and Amy celebrate the quiet power of connection and collaboration.
The threads of the physical and spiritual, the real and imagined, are woven together, and connected somewhere out there in a shared imagination.
