Dave Robertson Exhibition at Worldart Gallery in Cape Town

Concrete trails, urban tales art exhibition

Worldart is pleased to announce the exhibition of a body of abstract paintings by Dave Robertson, titled concrete trails, urban tales. The title refers to the artists' fascination with marks and textures visible on urban structures, which range from graffiti painted over to scratches left by motorists.

Containing all the elements that one looks for in a good abstract painting, these works evoke an emotional response that is difficult to ignore.

Dave Robertson is a Cape Town-based artist. He recently received a Spier Contemporary 2010 award for a documentary photographic project focusing on informal recyclers in Johannesburg.

He is well known for a series of expressionist, hand-painted photographs of township scenes which was exhibited at galleries in Germany and the Netherlands and also at the "Photo LA 2004" in Los Angeles, USA.
