Using the Biblical reference of Noah and the ark as staring point, creative trio Paul Senyol, Justin Southey and Bruce MacKay explore notions of faith, hope and disaster in their new collaborative exhibition, Ark.
Ark, which features paintings, drawings and sculptures, is on at the Bamboo Centre in Mellville, Jo’burg until 30 September 2010. Best known for their bold, urban aesthetics and quirky illustrations, Ark focuses on the notion of hope, faith and, more pessimistically, on the imminent demise of society.
Southey, who was the winner of the Most Creative Stand 2010 at Design Indaba Expo, used simple shapes, bold colours and typographic elements to highlight the world’s need for hope amd the opportunity for change.
"All but One", "40 Days", "After the Rain" and "In the Clouds" are the four works produced by Senyol. The works all refer to the biblical account of Noah and the floods and how it brought about changes in his life and faith.
Bruce Mackay highlights our overexposure to misfortune, suffering and death through the consumption of mass media. His work describes a society that sees its own collapse but doesn’t care.
