Kgomotso Le Roux & Neno to Release Albums in Two Day Exclusive Song Premiere 

South Africa will experience original indigenous African music compositions by two women from two generations, influenced by jazz, soul and Tshivenda rhythms from Kgomotso le Roux and her mentor Rosy Morero Bulane aka Neno, whose sound is a fusion of mbaqanga, gospel and Sesotho traditional music. In addition to live performances, audiences will also see the première of the Khwela Factory clothing range. 

Kgomotso, whose music draws heavily from Tshivenda traditional rhythms, writes in isiZulu, Sesotho, French, English and Shona. Her debut album ‘UNOYIWAWA”, is titled after a mythical African super hero, the “Strong one who does not fall, protects communities from natural disasters and is the daughter of Nomkhubulwane, the African goddess of rain, nature and fertility. ” Nomkhubulwane is strongly related to the origins of human kind from an African mythological perspective. The record comes after 14 years of Kgomotso’s work in various capacities in the music industry having been writing since the age of 9, started her sessions as a backing vocalist in 2003 and has gone on to work with an array of artists such as Mpumi Dlamini, RJ Benjamin, Ifani, Letoya Makhene, Blondie Makhene, Tlale Makhene, Yonela Mnana, Theo Nhlengethwa and Tresor.Her love for composition has seen her produce original music for children TV programs ‘Takalani Sesame’, ‘LEGO’ and recently featured as a performer at Dr. Sello Gallane’s Pula Festival at the State Theatre in Pretoria, September 2017. 

NENO, who is 78 years, will also launch her album ‘Ha Mojela’ with the support of the Khwela Factory and Kgomotso, thus beginning the journey of having her compositions performed. Dressed by clothing from the Khwela Factory range, the musical duo will be backed by an amazing band that features Nhlanhla Neville Radebe (double bass), Yonela Mnana (keys), Mabeleng Moholo (percussions), Kgomotso (mbira/vocals), Vumile Mchunu and Musa Nkosi (vocals). Kgomotso and Neno’s relationship dates back to Le Roux’s time as an academic researcher at WITS University where she got exposed to Neno’s music during her ethnomusicology studies in 2006. Neno who had an erratic recording and performing schedule had enjoyed a successful career in the 70s having signed to Gallo Records and later left the music industry to pursue a career in acting. “If it wasn’t for Neno and Mme Seipati Bulane Hopa, I would have never given our music a chance and I am looking forward to the launch of our albums” says ecstatic Kgomotso Le Roux.  Kgomotso’s journey till this point has been hard as a young black woman artist and entrepreneur. 

Tickets to the launch cost R100 and R20 for kids under 16.

Both albums ‘‘Unoyiwawa” and “Ha Mojela” will be available for sale at the launch for R150 each and performances will start at 15:00 to end at 18:00 on both days. Networking opportunities will be available before the start of both shows. 

The launches will take place at The Motlalepula Chabaku Foundation (Est. 1912) in Soweto on 02 December 2017 and at Glory in Melville, Johannesburg on 03 December 2017. For media queries, interview requests and access to high-resolution pictures and music contact JT Comms on This email address is being protected from spambots.

Kgomotso le RouxKgomotso has 10 years experience in the South African business of the arts and culture landscape. Her entrance into the promotion of the arts goes back to when she was a brand promoter for Meta4 Marketing and Advertising. After graduating from Witwatersrand University with an Ethnomusicology Bmus degree, her research in Venda inspired her to embrace an understanding of African arts from an interdependent point of view. Her honours degree covered courses including Arts Marketing and Business Studies, Professional Music Studies, Digital Music Technology (studio sound engineering) and Composition.

Neno – Rosy Morero BulaneIn a spirited tune, Rosy Morero Bulane- better known as Neno - blows musical wisdom onto her instruments and compositions inciting an emotive response from audiences local and abroad. She is a South African national treasure and one of a few remaining artists of her generation keeping the torch burning for traditional South African music.

Johannesburg, South Africa, 1 August 2017 - RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), the global distributor for engineers, launches the new pi-topPULSE from pi-top, the makers of the world’s most affordable Raspberry Pi based computer. The sleek, HAT compatible, pi-top add-on board functions as a high-end Raspberry Pi Speaker, features a vivid LED matrix and includes an inbuilt microphone that integrates to give you your very own interactive Raspberry Pi assistant. 

The pi-topPULSE is an integrated solution for music, lights and sound that can be used by makers, students and educators alike. Measuring only 60x67mm, it’s easy to transport and deploy in any classroom. It can be used both as an add-on for pi-top or pi-topCEED, and additionally as a HAT for the Raspberry Pi 3. Useful in projects as a LED array, speaker and microphone, the pi-topPULSE can be used for games, to listen to music, sample music recordings and be programmed as a voice controlled Raspberry Pi.  

Jesse Lozano, Co-Founder of pi-top explains, “Although children love technology, there is often a difficulty when it comes to keeping them engaged for long periods of time without an interactive and creative based exercise. Therefore, the inclusion of Art within STEAM is vital. Arts encourage the development of visual-spatial skills, an increased practice in problem solving, and collaboration as kids contribute to creative projects.

Aiding in this pi-topPULSE adds a depth of perseverance, focus and creativity to the classroom.” Suitable for beginners and experts alike, the pi-topPULSE is a fun, educational tool that helps bring the Arts into STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) projects with added visual and creative elements. pi-topPULSE offers a plethora of projects across the board, including classic games such as Snake, which can be easily programmed and brought to life.

THE GEORGE FIVAZ FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY IS OPENING ON 3 SEPTEMBER 2016 - A FIRST FOR THE EAST RAND AND THE CITY OF EKURHULENI, AND ONE OF A FEW IN SOUTH AFRICA

The George Fivaz Fine Art Photography Gallery is opening on 3 Sepbember 2016. 

This will be a first for the East Rand and the City of Ekurhuleni, and one of a a few in South Africa. 

Master Fine Art Photographer, George Fivaz invites all art and photography lovers to join him on the 3rd September 2015 for the grand opening. 

The Art Gallery is situated in the town, Nigel.  George is opening the gallery as a celebration of his love of photography and art. The images and collections on display consist of a unique selection of social documentary, landscape, and abstract prints as well as a number of mixed media works, and although primarily dedicated to showcasing Fivaz’s own artwork, the gallery will soon also exhibit a number of other exciting fine art photographers, mixed media artists, and digital artists. 

Fivaz’s fine art prints offer an excellent opportunity to imbue the spirit Africa into the home, office, healthcare, and hospitality environment. The gallery provides unique artworks that will not be found anywhere else, adding a special ambience to your projects. 

Provoking thought and emotion are components in Fivaz's art, a characteristic which could arguably be considered to be a result of his understanding, versatility and ability to adapt to every location he visits. The Abandoned, Goedverwachting, Healing, Quaver, Winter Wonderland, Cast in stone, and Windows are some of the collections of work which will be on display in the gallery.

UNRAVEL - to unravel is to undo the twisted, to solve, clear up, to fathom and come to terms with.

"This body of work  is autobiographical in a sense that each artwork represents an aspect of my own process in coming to terms with my own truth, and an expression of that. Coming out as a gay man, a father and husband a few years back, initiated the process of carefully unraveling an old life without breaking the strands and connections I have with my family. It is in the unraveling of the old and the process of reweaving where beauty lies, although difficult and painful at times.

As in life, so in art - the technique that developed throughout has also been an unraveling of my paint style. The liberating process of taking the artwork apart as it is broken down into emotional brush and knife strokes, smearing paint into loose strands of colour to form a new whole. This approach gives the viewer the opportunity to weave their own imagination into the artwork - to fill in the missing detail. Ultimately my work is an exercise in letting go, into the truth of the moment, letting the artwork happen as it is. True." - Floris van Zyl

The exhibition will run concurrently online  for those unable to attend.

Show Opens: 02 April 2015, 5pm - 9pm

Exhibition continues until 18 April 2015

Gallery hours: 10-5 weekdays, 10-2 Saturdays.

About Floris van Zyl

Floris van Zyl is a contemporary South African artist based in the Midlands of Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. Born 1971, he grew up in Pretoria and was drawn to the arts from a very young age. He qualified as a Graphic Designer in 1993 where after he started his own design agency. By 2009 he relocated to the countryside and started painting full time. He brings to his work the analytical eye of a graphic designer but tempers this formality with a loose, almost reckless method of applying paint to his canvas.His subject is rendered in blocks and dabs of colour often built up layer upon layer achieving his intention of, “creating images that work at a distance but become even more rewarding at close range.” He explores these combinations of natural and man-made shapes in his portraits and figure studies where the human form is sometimes set against rigid formal structured shapes. Inspiration comes from many sources: “I am influenced and inspired by my own life, also by observing the lives of other people”. Before making a mark on the canvas Floris determines what he calls the subject’s emotional climate. “It is more a feeling than anything else.” Next he considers the technical aspects of the subject, such as its shape, textures and colours. “I decide how I can use these to promote the feeling I want to achieve. I have a general idea of the ‘feeling’ of the painting before I begin. I find the appropriate references and the correct way to paint it, so that there is nothing Inessential or unrelated to the topic in the process. It is difficult to describe, but I like to be direct and to the point with the subject. Much of my work is expressive so there is always something new for the viewer to notice and discover, even after long inspection. My work is an ongoing process of self-challenge and evolution, I don't like to get stuck on a recipe. I want to give people the opportunity to enjoy and interpret my work largely for themselves.” Floris sells his paintings on great demand across the world. Quite a large numbers of these are direct commissions from local and international collectors. He frequently participates with great success in local and international exhibitions and his work has been published in various authoritative art publications.

AXECESS Jozi returns on March 7, 2015. In anticipation of this, AXE looks back to AXCESS Jozi 2014 and remembers the highlights of this extravagant urban music festival.  

Johannesburg, South Africa – AXECESS Jozi returns to Newtown’s Mary Fitzgerald Square bigger and better with three international hip-hop acts dropping by for a one-night only musical extravaganza come March 7, 2015.

The second edition of the annual AXECESS Jozi festival follows a little over a year after megastar Big Sean set the square ablaze alongside local talent including AKA, Da Les and Reason, among others. Legendary local hip-hop crew Teargas also made their mark on the AXE stage and the night was, without a doubt, one of the biggest hip-hop gatherings of 2014.

Kuli Chana re-united with his Morafe peers and together they roused the crowds with their classics including “Lekwalo to Metswako” and “The Whole Thing”.

AKA and Da Les turned the swag up a notch by performing some of their best loved hits and all the while the audience was getting heated up for the act of the night, while not only enjoying the best musical acts but also the eye-popping spectacle of world-class stage design, a spectacular fireworks display and an all-round festive atmosphere in the heart of the colourful city.

Titanium area VVIP guests had the exclusive opportunity to rub shoulders with socialites and celebrities alike while SkyroomLive.com was on hand, live-streaming the festival to over 354, 000 viewers who logged on to watch AXECESS Jozi live, a first for any festival in South Africa.

An interactive photo booth located on the festival grounds was constantly jammed with fans documenting the memories that they were making and sharing them throughout a variety of social media platforms.

Hot on the heels of his Billboard chart topping sophomore release ‘Hall of Fame’, Big Sean delivered his first ever performance on African soil and even the rain wasn’t  enough to dampen the spirit of the crowd as they sang along to the rapper’s hits including Beware, Guap and “Dance (A$$)”, which remains one of his biggest to date. A few lucky competition winners even got to meet the rapper for an epic backstage #selfie.

AXECESS Jozi 2014 marked AXE’s first foray into the entertainment circuit. 2015 will establish the festival as an annual event giving the AXE man the ultimate access to world-class entertainment by bringing together the best global and local musical talents.

With three international acts, all of who will be performing on African soil for the first time, AXECESS Jozi 2015 is set to become yet another explosive urban music event, or should we say extravaganza.

It is the number one selling deodorant in several European and Latin American markets, and since its 2003 launch in Asia and the United States it has also achieved a notable presence there. AXE is masculine, original, individual, cool and fun and we pride ourselves on giving guys the edge in the mating game.  

StateoftheART is proud to present 'Asking For It?' an exhibition of paintings by Maria Patrizi on the Exhibition Wall.

This series of work is the artist's response to the excuse often given that clothes are responsible for rape. Women displaying their femininity and/or sensuality, are considered to be handing out open invitations to being verbally or sexually abused.

"By moulding clothing into evocative and anonymous female forms, the artist has given the clothes a voice, "we are just clothes, so what exactly are we asking for?"" - Maria Patrizi

Patrizi's work has often been compared to photographic negatives. "At first the comparison surprised me but after some thought, I couldn't believe I hadn't made the connection myself" she says.

The starting point for all her paintings are photographs that she have taken and then manipulated. De-cluttering and reducing the images so that she can focus solely on the shapes she finds relevant.

willowlamp unveils two new award-winning designs - the Geometric Storm and Mandala No.2!

Since its inception in 2005, willowlamp, with architect Adam Hoets at the reigns, has pioneered an innovative method of producing highly intricate and unique decorative lighting designs by attaching ball-chain to laser-cut steel frames, using geometry and nature’s 'blueprint' as inspiration. The result is a vast collection of lampshades, pendants and chandeliers that can today be seen suspended from the ceilings of globally renowned hospitality, retail and commercial sites. Perpetually inspired, Hoets is evolving not only his existing designs, but his vision for future designs too.

Latest to willowlamp’s collection, is the Mandala No.2 (a second edition to a previous design called The Mandala)  and the Geometric Storm limited edition that stemmed from fresh inspiration. The two chandeliers were revealed at the recent 100% Design South Africa where Adam Hoets won the Award for Best Lighting Design.  

The Mandala No.2 is an adapted version of The Mandala (a design Hoets developed for Southern Guild and launched at the Everaard Reed Gallery in 2012). Completely captivated by the intricacies of sacred geometry, Adam based the new design on sacred Islamic geometry. “I spent over 400 hours drawing and decoding Islamic patterns and geometry, until I nearly went mad. This, to me, was the ultimate template and key beneath all because it holds within it all of the principles of Islamic sacred geometry”. Shorter in length, but with no shortage of detail, the result is a vibrant yet sophisticated masterpiece of complexities.  

While previous designs have been based on the patterns of sacred geometry, Hoets’ new chandelier, the Geometric Storm was inspired by abstract art forms – particularly cubism. Instead of depicting objects from one angle, cubism typically depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a wider context. Hoets describes the shape of the Geometric Storm as “awkward yet balanced.” Layered landscapes, rock formations and strata in mountains further inspire the design. Hoets comments, “The design seems to evoke a kind of highly geometricized landscape from an alternate abstract cubist reality.”   

A fusion of complex, calculated patterning and organic forms found in nature is the signature style of Adam Hoets’ willowlamp, and we can look forward to watching its evolution.

StateoftheART is delighted to present 'Contra Natura' (Against Nature) by Werner Ungerer. This work consists of 18 loose sheets of calligraphy and text, contained in clamp-shell box.   Contra Natura is a short story hand-illuminated in a medieval calligraphic hand "gothic textura quadrata". The digital and the archaic worked hand in hand in the production of this work which took Ungerer two years to complete.

The story follows a modern day priest teaching at a Catholic school. He confiscates an image torn from a fashion magazine from one of his pupils. The image is of a semi-naked man. The Priest is completely taken over by this image and undergoes a crises of faith. He exiles himself to an island retreat in the hope of re-connecting with his faith. In complete isolation, the power of the image grows stronger and its hold over the Priest more intense. As the depression of the Priest escalates we are drawn deeper into his internal struggle and ultimate psychological collapse. In the end he confronts himself and the story takes on a more surreal turn. He survives a violent attack by an unknown assailant (The Devil?) on the beach. He has a near death experience during which he encounters mythical versions of his mother and father. His mother is the Veiled Woman in Black sitting in a dead cornfield in the heat. His father is Legion – a mad prophet sitting on a dune in the desert, overlooking a fallen city. They serve as the Priest’s guide as he travels through the underworld and moves closer to resolve and acceptance or farther away from it.

"The title “Contra Natura” or, Against Nature was selected not only for subversive reasons. It also had a more direct meaning in that I needed to invent a new work-process for myself. I normally work very much on an intuitive level, often abandoning works mid-way and going off on different tangents. With this work I wanted to go against my own nature and submit myself to severe processes of order, structure, tradition and discipline." - Werner Ungerer
