WORLDART Gallery |Problem child

WORLDART Gallery is pleased to present Problem child. 

Graffiti artist and painter MOTELSEVEN will have a solo exhibition at the WORLDART gallery in Cape Town from 5-26 October.

After years of living and working in the UK and Europe, she is excited about being back in her native Cape Town and is looking forward to settling down for a while.
Titled Problem child, this exhibition of paintings features her distinct surreal style where prettiness and sadness lie side by side and Japanese manga-style and graffiti influences set the tone.

This exhibition explores the reality of a world that seems increasingly overwhelming and frustrating to navigate, and how, in these times of uncertainty and chaos, we tend to reminisce about a childhood that bring about feelings of nostalgia and safety. To this extent she made use of bold primary colours, dreamy pinks and purples, and 80’s and 90’s pop culture.

“This show is about making peace with our inner child and to allow our flawed sense of self to be free from ourselves and the superficial world around us,” she says.

The show runs from 5 October to 26 October 2023.
