Michael Taylor Ceramic Exhibition

WORDS Lindi Brownell Meiring

Celebrated South African artist Michael Taylor will be hosting his first solo ceramic exhibition at The Voorkamer Gallery at Chandler House in February 2016.

Titled While We Were Lost, the exhibition is inspired by J.M. Barrie’s Lost Boys of Neverland in Peter Pan. “Each of the works exhibited act like portholes into Neverland,” explains Chandler House. “Like Captain Hook aboard the Jolly Roger, we as adults are separated from Pan and his juvenile gang and are only able view the island and its characters through this series of painted ‘plates’.“

The works themselves are meant to be reminiscent of the mud pies The Lost Boys made in Neverland.

You can view the pieces at The Voorkamer Gallery at Chandler House, located at 53 Church Street, Cape Town until 29 February 2016. For more information, visit thevoorkamergallery.com.
