Being ‘moody’ doesn’t have to be a bad thing . It allows for one to see things through different ‘lenses’, bringing about contemplation, introspection, and the possibility of fresh perspectives.
When looking to purchase a piece of art , one can be impressed by the name and reputation of an artist or gallery. One can be swayed by elaborate descriptions and by what is ‘trending’. But , ultimately what drives many people to buy an artwork, is how it makes one feel. A certain piece will resonate with one person and not with another, sometimes for no define-able reason.

Coming out of the happy haze of holidays and back to ‘reality’, we are feeling refreshed, renewed and inspired to showcase art that reflects this sentiment. The start of a new year holds much anticipation mixed with unfinished business from the previous year, hence a need to re-organize, declutter (both in our minds and our homes/spaces).
Hamilton Gallery is excited to announce the newest additions to our walls – a small exhibition of tufted artworks!
With the festive season well on its way, now is the perfect time to buy yourself or your loved ones a stunning piece of art that will brighten up your space for years to come.
While our Bloom exhibition has officially come to a close, we here at Hamilton Gallery have been hard at work to create a fresh new display for the start of the holiday season!
Max Goldin, now living in The Netherlands, is a South African artist working in a variety of media, being both skilled in illustration; painting and various printmaking techniques. Max is currently mastering his skills in tufting as an art-making process.
Belinda Ormond first created her little men a few years ago, with the intention of making a hand-modelled, fun and quirky set of sculptures that could be displayed together on a shelf in one’s home as a light-hearted décor item. These ‘Little Men’ – created with the idea of being portrayed ‘in conversation’, have become increasingly popular and are a happy addition to any space.
One of the most familiar symbols of spring is the promise of renewal. After months of cold, wet weather and dormant landscapes , spring brings new growth, life and colour. Trees bud again , flowers bloom, and animals come out from hibernation. This renewal symbolises hope for a brighter future and a new start.
This project developed over several years when Dave was living and working in Salt River, a suburb of Cape Town undergoing urban renewal.
These little men began as an accompaniment to Belinda’s studio exhibition, some years back at a shop called The Fringe Arts on Kloof Street. They were the spectators of the exhibit, in silent contemplation.
