‘THE MATRIX OF WATER’ /  CONINGSBY GALLERY

“Being European, water shortages are outside my life-experience. Until now water has always been in abundance, something that I took for granted, an almost invisible resource, like air.” He said.   The drought changed all this and inspired the artist to embark on a journey of discovery into water itself. SaySay.Love spent six months photographing water across the world, from Africa to Poland, in settings varying from oceans and rivers to inside plumbing and bottles. The resulting series of images show the artist’s interpretations of the mercurial structure and beauty of water and its integral relationship to environment.’

Established in 1994 in London’s thriving Fitzrovia, The Coningsby Gallery has become renowned for its dedication to outstanding contemporary illustration, graphic art and selected fine art. Collaborating with both upcoming and internationally recognised artists, the gallery showcases a diverse range of fine, bold and innovative work.

‘THE ART OF ABSTRACTION’ /  ART AFRICA MAGAZINE

ART AFRICA MAGAZINE, “THE ART OF ABSTRACION / SAYSAY.LOVE ON MAKING WAVES”

“Rich colours seem trapped behind a veil of darkness – visible yet unable to breach the folded contours that form out of the flowing water.  SaySay’s work may be uninhabited by traditional portraiture of structures, but run rampant with emotion and thalassic imagery.”

THE LUXE DIGEST/  Article on ‘The Gift Of Water” Exhibition

“In a time when Cape Town has been gripped by one of its worst drought in decades (with the prediction that the worst is yet to come), the work of South African visual artist and photographer SaySay.Love has never been more important. The drought has led to an increase in government campaigns urging citizens to conserve water, leading to a decrease in daily consumption from 1.1 billion litres as of January 2016 to 582 million litres today. In his exhibition, The Gift of Water, SaySay, who is visually impaired, aims to reshape the way Capetonians view water.”

ART AFRICA MAGAZINE,  ARTICLE ON “THE GIFT OF WATER”

“Artist to donate proceeds of sale of unique artwork valued at R1million to support youth education.”

“This unique artwork – a lightbox measuring 3 metres in width and 1.96 metres in height – displays an image of water, at once illuminating this precious liquid and enlightening the viewer to its invaluable and limited volume.

This body of work entitled THE GIFT OF WATER, captured primarily in Cape Town, is inspired by the life-force that is water. SaySay.Love’s art reshapes our understanding of this gift, and his colourful expressions reflect his understanding of preserving this life-binding agent that fills our rivers and seas. Its ebb and flow – meticulously timed with the phases and movements of the tides – bring not only new life to our shores, but refreshes our emotions and souls. Water is a gift provided by nature for the sustainability and rebirth of life. SaySay hopes his work will inspire this too.”
