Gavin Jantjes: To Be Free!: A Retrospective 1970-2023

By Gavin Jantjes

Across paintings, prints and drawings, Jantjes' journey embodies a quest for artistic emancipation freed from Eurocentric traditions and expectations of Black creativity

Through over 100 works in addition to archival material, To Be Free celebrates Gavin Jantjes (born 1948) while tracing his development as a painter, printmaker, writer and activist--from his childhood in Cape Town under apartheid to his compelling portrayals of the global Black struggle for freedom and his recent transition to nonfigurative painting.
