Nuance, opening at UCA Gallery on 6 May, contains work by four painters and a sculptor – Catherine Ochulla, Maricel Albertyn, Lionel Smit, Varenka Paschke and Jonathan Munnik – who speak to the body as a site of social and emotional politics. Cooperatively, the work suggests that beauty lies rather in a body’s subtle deviations from the physical ideal than in the ideal itself.

STILLS By Karen Preller

Stills from 1960's home movies provide the substance of Preller's current work. Her unique way of turning random photographed moments into meticulously crafted oil paintings underscores the elusive nature of memory by rendering the prosaic strange and sinister.
