Home > Exhibitions > Garret Artists' Retrospective
The Garret Artists are a group of artists and art teachers, some of whom have worked under the guidance of Jeanette Gilks, a dynamic art teacher from Durban, for the last 20 years.
Jeanette explains that drawing can track the thought process, revealing flashes of feverish activity punctuated with gaps and pauses. She says that drawings frequently explore essentially private, incomplete visions, unhampered by frames. Garret Artists exhibitions provide an opportunity for insight into the process of drawing. The emphasis of their workshops is not on teaching new skills but rather on exploring new approaches to drawing in order to liberate unforeseen visual and pictorial potential.
