New Mavis Vermaak single & art exhibit
Mavis Vermaak has released the first single from her upcoming solo album, Cape Town. The full-length solo album is set for release in June 2014. April also sees the Cape Town-based artist's first solo visual art exhibition.
“This year I moved from Woodstock to the City Bowl,” says Vermaak. “I also signed up for a course in electronic music production. This track, created at the foot of Table Mountain, is one of the first results.”
The track was mixed by Fletcher Beadon and the cover design is by Laurissa Vergottini.
Lairs of Being launch
The art exhibition, Lairs of Being, opens at the Black Box Gallery in Cape Town on 25 April and closes on 6 May.
Mavis Vermaak explores aspects of femininity, duality and a multi-layered existence from a distinctly female perspective. Her visual language comprises mostly portraits, employing a number of original mixed-media techniques, lending an other-worldly quality to her work.
“I experimented with various techniques to generate a randomness to the emotive quality of the work. I tried to convey both the fragility and power of human emotion”, says Vermaak.
At the opening, Mavis will give a solo music performance, performing material from Cape Town for the first time.
