Alejandro Moiraghi, an Argentinian artist based in Buenos Aires, will be doing his first solo exhibition in South Africa at the Worldart gallery in Cape Town from 4 to 18 April. Moiraghi’s paintings and sculptures present a unique and humorous view of the urban landscape and the dreams and realities of those who populate it. His visual language features expressive cartoon-like figures often in ridiculous situations and makes one smile while simultaneously addressing more serious issues related to the human condition.

The exhibition will take place from 4 – 18 April 2010

Arlene has gained international acclaim for her extraordinary talent as an artist, and for her acute awareness of social rights and wrongs. This body of work will honour past expectations.

“This body of work makes direct reference to the people who try to establish roots and create homes in the places I inhabit and pass through everyday. For many this process is only made possible by the tenacity of their longing, the human longing, for a home. The environment itself is often hostile and unwelcoming, even for those who can afford homes. In these spaces, the ugly becomes beautiful, the native becomes a visitor in an alien land, the migrant becomes native, the uninhabitable is inhabited.” – Arlene Amaler-Raviv
