The Art of Existing
Duo Exhibition - Kyle Jardinge - AVA Gallery, Cape Town - 2026
The Art of Existing, by emerging artists Kyle Jardine and Careshia Esperanza, explores themes of identity, existence, and community through a deeply personal and vibrant visual language.
Set against the backdrop of a world in flux, this exhibition foregrounds themes of repression and liberation, pain and joy, isolation and belonging. Through painting and mixed media, Jardine and Esperanza present a dynamic dialogue between the inner world and the external landscape, a conversation held in colour, line, and form.
The Art of Existing examines the relevance of being alive and growing up in a modern society, not as passive or suffering identities, but as active, radiant forces of self-determination.
