Inside Graham Contemporary’s Mesmerizing New Gallery at Hyde Park Corner

Step into a world where creativity and sophistication meet. Graham Contemporary, a beacon for contemporary art enthusiasts, has opened its enchanting new gallery space in the heart of Johannesburg's Hyde Park Corner. Nestled within the vibrant center court, this white-cube gallery is a sanctuary for artistic expression and a testament to the enduring power of contemporary art.

This month, the gallery debuted with its highly anticipated spring group show, Brave New World—a celebration of courage, connection, and love. Featuring an impressive lineup of artists, including Marc Standing, Kpe Innocent, Gabrielle Raaff, Matthew Prins, Xanthe Scout Lardner-Burke, and Mookho Ntho, the exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in a tapestry of contemporary expression. Each piece is meticulously curated, offering a journey through art that is both intimate and transcendent.

Spring Exhibition: Brave New World

Drawing inspiration from Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, this exhibition reimagines the phrase in a profoundly hopeful light. While Shakespeare and Huxley offered nuanced views of humanity’s complexities, Graham Contemporary opts for an alternative narrative—one rooted in courage, liberation, and a wholehearted embrace of love.

Here, love transcends understanding, and the art enshrines value with tenderness and daring. Brave New World invites audiences to explore themes of connection and intimacy, where courage opens the door to limitless possibilities.

A Space Designed to Captivate

Owner and founder Graham Britz, a prominent figure in South Africa’s art scene with over three decades of experience as a curator, exhibitor, and investor, envisioned the gallery as a haven for both seasoned collectors and newcomers to the art world. The new space’s sleek, minimalist design allows the artwork to shine, creating a gallery experience that feels as intimate as it is inspiring.

Whether you’re a devoted art enthusiast or a curious first-time visitor, Graham Contemporary offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the very best of contemporary art in a setting that’s both inviting and awe-inspiring.
