We are pleased to present new works by Frances Goodman and Michaela Younge opening on Thursday 24th April 2025 at Art Brussels.

Frances Goodman critically engages with culturally established norms regarding beauty and femininity by reworking stereotypically gendered materials, such as sequins and acrylic nails, and anchoring her practice in an exploration of these materials as valuable and disposable; hand-made and synthetic; culturally significant and passing trends.

​Michaela Younge has made a stir in the local and international art scene with her highly detailed, provocative wool tapestries depicting elaborate and often controversial scenes. Her work most often depicts contemporary tableaus of dream-like moments. Instances of decapitation, seduction, and general debauchery are commonplace in her work, which uses the dramatically absurd to highlight the humour and violence of our South African society, and our fraught relationship with the past.
