Theresa-Anne Mackintosh NOW IS NOT FOREVER
Theresa-Anne Mackintosh’s art practice spans over three decades. The Wits Art Museum
survey exhibition NOW IS NOT FOREVER includes work from her earliest artistic production to
recent work from her studio. The exhibition explores how Mackintosh has used figuration to
think about identity, emotion, and the complexity of lived experience. Her work invites close
looking rather than immediate interpretation, balancing graphic clarity with emotional depth.
Coming Soon: Hentie van der Merwe: 'After de Jongh'
This exhibition explores the artist's relationship with personal identity, cultural inheritance, and the enduring presence of history through painting. Drawing inspiration from Bloekomlaan (Avenue of Gum Trees) by the Dutch-born South African painter Tinus de Jongh (1885 – 1942), Hentie van der Merwe revisits an image deeply embedded in Afrikaner visual culture and collective memory. Exhibition opens 1 July 2026
