Event description
This is Ravelle Pillay’s first large-scale solo exhibition, and first presentation in the UK. Working in painting, the Johannesburg-based artist’s practice evolves from a personal process of archiving, often drawing from found and family photographs to map life-making in the wake of mass migration.
Laying bare the displacement of indenture and the dehumanisation of Apartheid, Pillay’s paintings explore the way we remember things, whether it be history, ourselves, or the fragile formations of personal and collective memory.
For her Chisenhale commission, Pillay will produce a series of oil paintings, ranging in size, situated within a wider installation that contemplates the colonial hauntings of bodies of water and botanical gardens.
Ravelle Pillay’s commission is produced with support from the Chisenhale Gallery Commissions Fund.
Lead Supporter: Goodman Gallery.
