Untitled is a space for you to discover and explore, browse and buy art. We connect artists and art lovers, bringing people and art closer together. 

Since our launch in 2020, we've nurtured this connection through our digital platform, and participation in art fairs like the Investec Cape Town Art Fair, FNB Art Joburg Fair, and RMB Latitudes Art Fair. We also curate collaborative exhibitions, most recently Space Register with RESERVOIR Projects and artist Selwyn Steyn.

Who we are

Untitled was founded by Lille van der Walt and Mia Louw. As art lovers, we wanted to create an accessible space for people to discover, engage with, and be inspired by art. We want more people to love art, enjoy living with it, and be excited to collect it. In 2024, Alexandra Gaag joined the team, and Mia Louw moved into an advisory role.

 

 

 

Lille

I’ve always loved art, deeply and intuitively. It arouses so many moods and feelings. It elicits wonder, evokes awe and awakens beauty. It can light up a room, or a day, or a life. I feel like a better version of myself in the company of art. 

Yet, for the longest time, I stayed on the periphery of art. I chose to study law, but sneaked a History of Art major in through the back door. I worked in financial services, retail, design, marketing, publishing and media, at places like Vrye Weekblad, Sarie magazine and 22seven... all touched art, but not intimately enough to satisfy me. The nearest I got to my “happy place” was working on the Arts Alive Festival in Johannesburg, but I always yearned for more. So eventually, joyfully and wholeheartedly, I surrendered and returned to my first love. 

For the last few years, I’ve immersed myself in art, listening to its stories, marvelling at it, and dreaming of a world where art, artists and art lovers are brought closer together. I created experiences and studio visits, but wanted to spread and share it all more widely. And so, Untitled was born. My hope is that it becomes a space where anyone can come to be introduced to, inspired through and uplifted by art.

From my earliest days, growing up in a family that owned an art gallery and framing business, art has been a constant presence in my life.

Since studying Business Administration, my career path has spanned publishing, media, retail and sales, giving me a comprehensive perspective on the art world locally and internationally. I’ve worn many hats in the art industry: managing sales, producing gallery publications, liaising with artists, handling media relations, and orchestrating exhibitions. Managing projects and co-ordinating art fair booths further enriched my understanding of the field.

There’s something about the way art can transform a space and evoke emotions that has always fascinated me. It’s not just about looking at something beautiful - it’s about feeling something deep inside. I often find myself lost in thought about the stories behind the pieces, and it’s these moments that keep me excited and inspired to continue sharing the beauty of art with others. At Untitled, I feel that same sense of wonder every day, knowing I’m part of something that allows others to connect with art in a way that’s meaningful to them.

Artists and Untitled

It matters to us to nurture close, honest, authentic relationships. To base those relationships on shared values and a love of art. To build lifelong connections. To grow together. To collaborate, catalyse and facilitate. To give artists space to experiment and to express their own stories. And to be mutually supportive. 

We’re fortunate enough to work with some of the most outstanding artists our country has, who also happen to be some of the most amazing people we’ve met.
