Mexico City-born painter and printmaker Georgina Gratrix is a rising star on the South African contemporary art scene, known for her provocative and playful paintings that challenge social hierarchies. For Gratrix no subject is considered sacrosanct.<br /> <br /> Her first solo exhibition in Joburg, <em>On Repeat</em>, takes its name from Gratrix’s signature painting style. Using almost excessive amounts of thick oil paint, Gratrix creates an intriguing blend of colours, shapes and textures on her pattern-like canvases. Comparing her painting style to a needle on a gramophone wearing a record thin from constant repeated plays, Gratrix's works are filled with repeated motifs and symbols.<br /> <br /> As part of the FNB JoburgArtFair 2017, the gallery is staying open until 20:00 on Fri Sep 8 and Sat Sep 9, and will also be opening on Sun Sep 10 from 10:00-17:00.
