Tell Me A Story | an exhibition by Mila Posthumus at StateoftheART
Submitted by: Jennifer
StateoftheART is proud to present 'Tell Me A Story' an exhibition of paintings by Mila Posthumus on the Exhibition Wall.
There is a sense, in this collection, of having stumbled upon a private moment. The moments captured are small and unposed, the subjects caught up in their own thoughts; distracted. Although they are often painted looking directly at the viewer, drawing him in, there is detachment from the viewer; lending the work a voyeuristic quality. What is seen unmistakably forms part of a larger narrative and the subject's distraction opens up a space for the viewer to fill and weave a story of his/her own.
"My work is influenced, as any artist's will be, by my perception of my surroundings and reality. It covers many subject matters, from land- and cityscapes, to still lives to people. The ever changing and emotionally complex South African landscape offers endless inspiration as well as my more personal, immediate surroundings - children and home." - Mila Posthumus

Established in 2010 and a pioneer in the online art market in South Africa, StateoftheART re-imagines the brick-and-mortar art gallery experience for the digital age, differentiating itself through full transparency and accessibility. Our pricing structure is clear and straightforward with the majority of the proceeds from a sale being returned to the artist who created the work. Importantly, our pricing is very competitive, leaving no room to incentivise buyers with discounts. The StateoftheART Gallery Award, a not-for-profit initiative, was founded by the gallery in 2018 to promote artists who have yet to establish a profile on the contemporary South African art scene - so when you buy art from StateoftheART you’re directly supporting artists.
