THAT ART FAIR is an initiative of ART AFRICA magazine. Founded in reaction to the fact that many countries in Africa lack the formal structures of commercial art galleries where artists can exhibit their work and/ or be represented by galleries or dealers; THAT ART FAIR offers them such a platform. Emerging and established artists can showcase their work in a relaxed but professional environment, where they can meet directly with collectors, galleries and new audiences alike! The burgeoning contemporary African market is ripe for the picking and growing a young and invested collector base is our aim.

“My practice is based on my conviction that art is our first and last link with sacredness and built upon a single concept: that of contexture.
I compose my works, concretely and in a broader sense, from textures. As an element, texture ranges from fabric or pixels to text. As a notion it encompasses the material and the mental, and inscribes on a continuum the physical and the conceptual.” Says de Medeiros
Laura Windvogel: Cape Town based artist Laura Windvogel, AKA Lady Skollie, produces mildly-offensive watercolours and collaborative, contribution-based projects that explore gender roles, sex, sexuality, relationship dynamics and the tug of war between masculine and feminine energy.
