WESLEY VAN EEDEN BLOG
This weekend I got to show my work at Word of Art in Cape Town. Its running until 18 January if you still want to check it out. I really had a great time hanging out with my brother and Senyol! I got an amazing response from my work and about 700 people attended the exhibition and music event. It was pretty mind blowing for some one like me coming from a small city. Cape Town has got to be one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Word of Art Gallery
Some people enjoying the exhibition.
Its Bruce Mackay! Check out this artists work here.
I got to meet some of the people who brought some of my work. This is Jason from New York who is a professor in English.
This is Rowan who brought two of my paintings with his girl and Indigo from Canada. Rowan is a really talented filmaker who has just come back from America filming Freshly Ground on tour.
The awesome view from Senyol / Southey / Mackay studio in Woodstock. So rad!

6511 MILES: FULL VIDEO
Check out the full 6511 Miles video from Wesley Van Eeden and Paul Senyol‘s May-June 2011 residency in Finland. The video was first shown at the Broadcasts Exhibition which opened at the KZNSA earlier this month. Beautifully edited by Peter Reynolds. If you missed it, you can check out the photos from the Broadcasts Exhibition here.
PASTE. A STREET ART EXHIBITION VIDEO
18 local artists were selected to design, illustrate or photograph work around the theme of Khayelitsha Culture. Curated by SJ Artists and local design website, 10and5, the work was turned into large scale wheat pastes and was pasted around Khayelitsha and the inner city of Cape Town.
The aim was to take the exhibition out of the gallery space and into the streets of both city and township. Spreading the art into the different cultures and allowing the greater community access. We think thats pretty freaking rad.
BROADCASTS EXHIBITION
Society for hundreds of years have been obsessed with images and how things are presented from the outside. We take a closer look by asking people from around the world a couple questions and then illustrate what they have told us. It’s like creating a VISUAL MOUTHPIECE for the people we meet. The idea was created by illustrator / designer / artist Wesley van Eeden from Durban, South Africa. The project’s focus is to paint and illustrate peoples points of view from around the world. Exploring themes such as where people get their hope, what are their dreams, what would they like to change in their town and what makes them happy. It aims to encourage dialog between different people and cultures and to give the person on the street the chance to tell the world how they feel about the fundamental issues of life.
BROADCASTS is an exhibition with:
