On the way to Merweville — an exhibition by Sonia Martins Mateus & Wonder

The Prince Albert Gallery presents On the Way to Merweville. Two artists. One desert. Their journeys couldn't be more different.

Wonder left Cape Town and arrived in the Karoo to find what so many find here: space, silence, and a sky that refuses to end. Abstract and expressionist, his canvases map the isolation of objects left behind in a vast landscape, the aloneness of things both used and forgotten.

Sonia Martins Mateus comes from further away, from a village in Beira Baixa. Her art is rooted in territory, memory and what remains after things move or burn. She works with fire, acid and bleach, attacking material to reveal what lies beneath.
