The show goes on{line}: interactive virtual tour of Catherine Ocholla's THE SPACE BETWEEN, 29 April till 16 May 2020.
Submitted by: Jennifer
StateoftheART is proud to host the online exhibition THE SPACE BETWEEN, the latest body of work by Cape Town artist Catherine Ocholla. The show opens at the gallery's Online Viewing Room on Wednesday, 29 April.
In these unprecedented times, Catherine Ocholla's exhibition of skyscape paintings pour calm on troubled waters. The artist's new paintings contain a broad collection of every imaginable cloud and sky, capturing both the understated and the spectacular. Her palette shifts from light blue, white and a myriad of greys. Prussian blue, violet, saffron, pale pink and black enter the picture plane. The tonal shifts in some compositions allude to a seascape, anchored by the merest suggestion of a horizon.
This is Ocholla's 3rd solo exhibition of skyscape paintings: she will not be exhibiting again until she has completed her MFA (Master of Arts in Fine Art) in two years’ time.

About Catherine OchollaCatherine Ocholla was born in Kenya in 1983. She grew up in South Africa and obtained a BA degree in Fine Art at the University of Cape Town (Michaelis) in 2007. Known for her realistic renderings in oils, her primary focus is on the sky as a backdrop to humanity’s self-imposed dramas, with environmental undertones that point to issues such as global warming and pollution. Note: Catherine Ocholla is currently registered for an MFA (Master of Fine Art) in painting at the Michaelis School of Fine Art (University of Cape Town), however this exhibition is independent from - and does not form part - of her Master’s studies.

Established in 2010 and a pioneer in the online art market in South Africa, StateoftheART re-imagines the brick-and-mortar art gallery experience for the digital age, differentiating itself through full transparency and accessibility. Our pricing structure is clear and straightforward with the majority of the proceeds from a sale being returned to the artist who created the work. Importantly, our pricing is very competitive, leaving no room to incentivise buyers with discounts. The StateoftheART Gallery Award, a not-for-profit initiative, was founded by the gallery in 2018 to promote artists who have yet to establish a profile on the contemporary South African art scene - so when you buy art from StateoftheART you’re directly supporting artists.
