Tell Me A Story | an exhibition by Mila Posthumus at StateoftheART

StateoftheART is proud to present 'Tell Me A Story' an exhibition of paintings by Mila Posthumus on the Exhibition Wall.

There is a sense, in this collection, of having stumbled upon a private moment. The moments captured are small and unposed, the subjects caught up in their own thoughts; distracted.  Although they are often painted looking directly at the viewer, drawing him in, there is detachment from the viewer; lending the work a voyeuristic quality. What is seen unmistakably forms part of a larger narrative and the subject's distraction opens up a space for the viewer to fill and weave a story of his/her own.

"My work is influenced, as any artist's will be, by my perception of my surroundings and reality. It covers many subject matters, from land- and cityscapes, to still lives to people. The ever changing and emotionally complex South African landscape offers endless inspiration as well as my more personal, immediate surroundings - children and home." - Mila Posthumus
