| Ceramics |
A range of ceramics by Barry Dibb from Durban and early sculpture works by Yvette Weyers are on show, while Louise Gelderblom, who has achieved cult status, presents a number of large vessels. Her art is firmly rooted in the African tradition and she won the Eco International design award, and was also the winner in the best Craft and Design category.
Several early pieces by Barbara Jackson will be on display. These are abstract, brightly coloured sculptures which bear the imprint of her inimitable style.

an overview and highlights of our Summer Salon 2011/2012
Our thirty-sixth Summer Salon runs from 26 November until 31 January 2012. We invite you to join us for the opening which this year takes a slightly different format from previous years. Join us anytime from 9am until 9pm during the all-day opening on Saturday 26th, and enjoy delicious strawberries with a glass of sparkling wine (with juice for the younger visitors). Why not bring the family and make a day of it, enjoying lunch at one of Paarl's many restaurants? |

As always, we have lined up an interesting collection of paintings, sculpture and ceramics for the Summer Salon exhibition.
Here are just a few of them: |

familiar and new faces for the Summer Salon
On the painting front, we are delighted to again be exhibiting work by Henk Serfontein ahead of his prestigious showing in Spain. He has been internationally acclaimed for his so called "night" paintings. These are evocative, dramatic and brilliantly conceived. Two of these works will be seen as well as two pop art-styled paintings. |

Other regular favourites have a firm place in the Summer Salon. Both Kervin Cupido and Jeffrey Appollis will be presenting work while former Paarl resident and newer artist, Shany van der Berg, will also be represented. |

| Flower Study by Hannes van Zyl |
Girl with Umbrella by Fanie le Roux |
|
Hannes van Zyl, who has been exhibiting his work at the Gallery for more than twenty years, and who is also a well-know art teacher in Paarl, will be showing a large canvas, simply titled "Flowers on a Table". This acrylic is impeccably painted with verve and vision, and is very provocative with its slanted angles.
Newer faces at the Summer Salon include Lyn Brown, the past chairlady of the South African Society of Arts, who will have a few oils on show, joined by her daughter Jessica who also works in oils. In a similar genre, Fanie le Roux is showing a number of oils of finely painted stillives and harbour scenes. |

Charles van der Merwe, also a prize winner at the latest SASA Exhibition, will be showing a number of Parisian scenes of cafe society, observed during the time he spent in Paris.
Armand du Rand is a sculptor and originally a medical doctor. He now runs his own bronze foundry where he creates his charming elongated figures.
Erik Laubser will be showing a series of landscapes while other artists include Natalie Hirschman, Jan Vermeiren, Tisa Mertz, Stokhuyzen to name just a few.
We hope to see you at the Gallery!
