Walking on a Rim of Light, a solo exhibition, is open for public viewing in the Reservoir at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum in Bloemfontein until 10 April. Entrance is free.
The exhibition showcases works by South African multi-disciplinary artist Diana Page.
Born in Durban and raised in Grahamstown, Page gained an undergraduate degree at the erstwhile University of Natal, a higher diploma in Education (PG Sec) at the University of Cape Town (UCT) and a masters in Painting at Rhodes University.
Over the last three decades as a professional artist she has exhibited, taught and collaborated with other artists in South Africa and in Istanbul, where she has been resident for 16 years.
She has participated in public art projects and held exhibitions in South Africa and Turkey.
Her work explores a transnational existence and ideas about space, home and identity through painting and the parallel practices of drawing, digital animation and performance.
“My experience of one home always occurs in counterpoint to the other,” says Page.
“My memory and imagination of these two places is informed by constant drawing and revisiting of images along the Bosphorus, where I have my studio,” she explains.
Page has participated in public art projects and held exhibitions in South Africa and Turkey.
