For those that missed the exhibition, have a look at a video overview below:

A stunning digital display from 6x Garden Route Digital Artists.

Many people were inspired by a variety of digital artworks, some of which came to life with 3d and video content, using Augmented Reality technology !!  and show-casing Graphic Design, Illustration, Animation, Motion Graphics.

EXHIBITION OPENING: 30 Sept 4pm
Our Exhibition Opening was a huge success, with an amazing turn-out, viewing our digital art, alongside traditional art from the Plett Art Association. One drifted among the dreamscapes of unique art pieces that kiss the eyes & the mind, while listening to one of our multi-talented digital artists, Momo (Monique Maritz) as she serenaded her sweet melodies, all original & straight from the heart, accompanied by her ukulele.

Live music & authentic art, what a treat it was !

Venue: The Plett Community Hall, Piesang Valley

MONIQUE MARITZ

Monique Maritz, known as Momo, is a Namibian multimedia artist who combines her drawing, photography & graphic design to create visually exciting art pieces. 

She channels inspiration through nature to convey deeper symbolisms. Her intent is to cultivate a sense that there is something greater than ourselves, something more to being human, beyond just this sensory experience and that the greater whole of which we are part of is divine in nature. She does this with overflowing love & intention.

She graduated her Bachelor of Arts & Visual Communication at Prestige Academy, South Africa, with a Cum Laude. She continues to freelance corporate & creative graphic design projects along with her photography & videography.

SIMONE FRANKS

Simone Franks, Durban born, has been a graphic artist manipulating design for packaging, signage, social media, web, 3D and animation content through the corporate lens. Her keen interest in the psyche within the evolution of humankind has led her on her journey to a deep study of Iyengar yoga, esoteric human design, hypnotherapy and a physical delve into community on her travels.

Over the last 7 years, her immersive dive into Carl Jung’s Individuation process along with her in- depth studies of the Iyengar Yoga path has brought her a great sense of healing and awareness. As a multi-racial agnostic woman, her work demonstrates a deep desire to find her place within society on her own terms.

JANET DIXON

Janet Dixon, as an artist, I rejoice in using whatever means of expression is available to me in order to communicate my art best. So, although I am known for my earthy, exuberant expression in authentic Karoo-inspired paintings, I am excited to include digitalization and animation of these original alcohol ink works in my portfolio.

As always, nature remains an endless source of wonder and inspiration for me, as is the human condition, which I see reflected in the microcosm and the macrocosm.
