Diseko’s art gallery creates platform for fellow artists: Art museums and galleries tend to prefer experienced and prominent artists who have more marketability. That is why North West-born artist Boitumelo Diseko established her own gallery called B…
Diseko is 26 years old and probably the youngest gallery owner in SA. The gallery is situated right in the heart of Johannesburg's creative hub, Maboneng. It is tucked in the Main Change Building’s 3rd Floor. Diseko has a strong belief that every artist starts as an unknown and ends up later making it big when given the right opportunity.
“It is a different journey all together but I love it. For it to happen I had to put a timeline and put myself under pressure. What assisted me was that I moved to Maboneng since it is a creative hub and it was easy for me to do research and get the space. The gallery started on social media and in October it finally became a physical structure and was launched with an exhibition.”on December 10.
Diseko uses lines similar to contour lines because she looks at memory and identity encoded onto a landscape. These flowing lines and shapes cluster into areas of visual tension and evoke organic forms, natural systems, geographical layers and topography. Her earlier works had a bit of colour, while her latest are dominated by black and white colours.
