Behind the built world: FAÇADE examines the emotional architecture of city life

In this new solo exhibition by Madeleine van Manen, Cape Town - Madeleine's hometown - becomes a living organism; shifting, breathing and accumulating the imprint of the life contained within it. Through paintings, printmaking, fabric works and intimate miniature studies, the artist invites viewers to consider the ways in which the built environment shapes us just as much as we shape it.
