UCT FINE ARTS aduate Kevin Brand is among the artists featured in three solo exhibitions at the Association for Visual Arts gallery, aka the AVA, in Cape Town until 9 November. In his work, titled Arcadia, Brand explores the “implied pursuit of perfect happiness on two very different yet complementary levels”. “The pursuit of a perceived ideal has always intrigued me, be it a concept, place or object,” he says. “The reduction of the imagery to a linear representation could be an indication that this quest for an Arcadian ideal is one that will sadly always be yearned for.”
