AN exhibition by Jacqueline Crewe-Brown, opens at The Gallery at Grande Provence, Franschhoek, on Sunday at 11:00.
The exhibition, which runs until 5 March, will be opened by Karen McKerron with whom CreweBrown had a major solo exhibition in 2000.
‘Drawn threads’ follows on Crewe-Brown’s highly successful Johannesburg exhibition two years ago and is a continuation into the visual exploration of the culture and traditions of women.
Her colour palate and highly stitched and textured canvases are continuously influenced by her travels through Africa and Asia.
Crewe-Brown lives and works in Franschhoek where her home is filled with valuable and beautiful artefacts and objects from cultures across the world.
Born in England, Jacqueline Crewe-Brown grew up in East Africa (Uganda and Kenya) and studied at the Michaelis School of Fine Art.
During the late 70’s she lived in London where she took up lithography and painting.
After a period of working and exhibiting her large scaled appliqués and painted wall hangings, she collaborated with architects and decorators like Stephen Falcke.
