Olivia Botha
Collaboration History
Olivia Botha’s unique work has been included in a number of group exhibitions at David Krut Projects (DKP) in Johannesburg, most recently in Kind of Blue, which was exhibited at the Parkwood gallery space over December 2019/January 2020.
Botha spent time in March 2020 working closely with David Krut Workshop (DKW) printer, Sarah Hunkin, exploring the monotype technique and experimenting with the unpredictable translation of her mark into print. Botha made a series of watercolour and oil-based monotypes at DKW, followed by a series of trace monotypes printed without the aid of a printing press.
In April 2021 David Krut arranged a collaborative residency for Botha with The Fourth – a working space and art gallery in Cape Town. Here she produced a body of oil paintings inspired in part by the trace monotypes of 2020.
DKP presented a solo exhibition by Olivia Botha – CAUGHT – in August 2021. The show brought together paintings produced during her residency at The Fourth and afterwards, and selected monotypes including the trace monotypes.
