Caccia’s Girl in a Red Dress part of Everard Read’s 15th anniversary exhibition
Arabella’s Girl in a Red Dress Collection formed part of Everard Read Cape Town’s 15th anniversary exhibition in December 2011.
The paintings were inspired by Asisipho Ndlovu Malunga, a dancer who, in her essence seems to express the archetype of an African Venus. In the paintings Siho is shown dancing on a magic glass box, dancing with planets, dancing with a school of see-through fish and under falling flowers. In her portrait she is shown with a weaver bird chick on her shoulder alluding to her nescent power to weave dreams.
There was also later a painting painted of Sipho, “The Keeper of Dreams”, painted in the traditional Venus pose after artists such as Goya and Monet, which has since been sent to London for exhibition.
