Hey there folks, the time has finally come, the planets have aligned and all that stuff and I'm actually doing my exhibition INCLUDING a performance of my seven compositions with bassist Yuri Kuprashow. There will also be a performance by my sister's duo, Mesmer, who are divinely beautiful. Here is the press release:
Viccy Wanliss: Suspended Belief and Simple Pleasures
Solo exhibition at The Jackal and Hide, Cape Town
13 November to 4 December
The Jackal and Hide invites you to a fusion of art, music, cuisine and society. An emerging artist with a background in music and teaching, Viccy Wanliss presents her twenty piece collection of luxuriously surreal oil paintings.
Strongly influenced by Renaissance Art, Pre-Raphaelites and Surrealism, Viccy combines transcendence with the magic of existence, creating an atmosphere of calm dislocation in a super-reality. To find a deeper human connection, Viccy suspends natural laws, inviting the viewers into a sublime moment out of time. Refining and enhancing subtle gestures in human form achieves the delicate art of suggestion and discovery.
Viccy will be performing her guitar compositions on the opening night with bassist, Yuri Kuprashow. These compositions echo an appreciation for the old and current, creating a sound that is intricate and groovy. Transposing contour lines and colour into melody and harmony, she creates a true fusion of audio and visual art. Also performing on the opening night will be the duo Mesmer, who draw inspiration from the folk and classical music of the European Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods. Their unusual mix of influences challenge our conventional distinctions of genre, while their performance on a variety of instruments, both familiar and out of the ordinary crosses national as well as cultural boundaries.
