Ulriche Jantjes • In the midst
Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2024
In the midst is a body of work portraying moments of pause in an ever-changing world.
To be “in the midst” is to be in the middle of an activity or space. It is a moment or place of flux. The paintings and monotypes explore this in-betweenness through interior scenes that are juxtaposed with expansive exteriors. A figure peering out of the window. A landscape with a deep blue pool. By pairing inside scenes with the outside world, In the midst brings forth an element of reflection.
