Jill Joubert Exhibition of Sculpture at Smith Studio

This creative lady has some amazing sculptures to share with you

In an exhibit by one of the most creative names in the country, Jill Joubert brings together the arts of puppetry and sculpture and fuses them into a truly magical experience. Her exhibition is titled ‘The Invasion by Stately Queens Come to Rescue Princesses Trapped in Four Impenetrable Towers’, and it opened at Smith Studio on Church Street on Tuesday, 2 August and runs until Saturday, 27 August 2016.

Jill Joubert has had a very established career in arts of all forms. In 1981, she and three others formed the Handspring Puppet Company and toured SA and Botswana, performing local stories for local communities using the puppets they were so talented at controlling. 

Joubert was also the Principal of the Frank Joubert Art Centre where she co-founded the Ibhabhathane Project, which provides innovative and creative environments for students and educators to learn artistic practices. She got her Masters in Fine Art from Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town in 2009 and has been blazing through the Cape Town art scene ever since. 

Her exhibition at Smith Studio will feature a selection of wooden sculptures, all of which were inspired by Italo Calvino’s Italian Folktales, an anthology of over two-hundred stories. These inspirations mean that Joubert’s exhibition is both fantastic and fantastical. 

ENTRANCE TO THE 2016 JILL JOUBERT EXHIBITION OF SCULPTURE AT SMITH STUDIO

Entrance to the Smith Studio on Church Street is free. So seize this opportunity to see a puppet master-cum-artist fuse the two styles together and create something ethereally beautiful. For more info, please contactinfo@smithstudio.co.za.
