This new exhibition is a collaboration between artist Jeannie Kinsler and
the renowned Durban fashion designer Terrence Bray. A serendipitous meeting
with Terrence led to the collaboration, which resulted in Terrence using
paintings on fabric and as inspiration for his Spring/Summer 2012 collection.
Jeannie was in turn inspired by his vision and creative energy - and by
seeing her work moving through fabric on bodies - to produce a new series of
paintings. While her work is widely associated with images of the female
form, the human head and still life – this new body of work further explores
the human form fragmented by light, shadow, fabric and movement.
The opening will showcase the official Durban launch of the Spring/Summer
2012 collection by Terrence Bray - a couture-style version of Bray’s new
ready-to-wear range – a highly styled high-fashion presentation of 10 looks
from the collection – and an opportunity to view this fusion of fashion and
art.
