Ravelle Pillay: History Hammered by Time
24 Feb 2024
South African painter Ravelle Pillay has an exhibition at the Goodman Gallery in Cape Town. The exhibition runs until March 2024.
This is her first solo exhibition with the gallery, it is a nostalgic collection of works that the artist utilises to examine her family history, colonial impact and poetic implications of representation that connote the artist creative goals. Sentiment and perspective in this exhibition were utilised to articulate a measure of history that is personal and rooted in reflection as cathartic and healing.
