Large, raw and expressive charcoal drawings in contrast with small, colourful and eccentric oil paintings. Two artists with the same starting point: mug shots. These photos are collected from police archives but (intentional or unintentionally) often distributed by the media.
Humor versus bitter seriousness.
Du Toit and Laperdrix met in 2018 at the Cultural Hotspot, De Nijverheid, where they rent adjacent ateliers.

Marco Sleumer
Between Tides is an immersive installation in which Marco Sleumer explores a new part of his inner world and enters a new stage of life. Just as tide pools form between ebb and flow, he finds himself in a liminal phase, a transitional space between being a student and entering adulthood. This symbolism lies at the centre of the project.The installation features organic sculptures inspired by a symbiosis of corals and fungi. Their growth patterns, shapes, structures, and colors are translated into imaginative creations that seem almost alive.
