Holding, Still at 99 Loop Gallery in Cape Town brings together works by Chuma Adam, Elodie Burls, Jeanne Hoffman and Thalente Khomo exploring tension, form and introspection through photography, painting and sculpture.

Holding, Still is a group exhibition presented at 99 Loop Gallery featuring works by Chuma Adam, Elodie Burls, Jeanne Hoffman and Thalente Khomo.

Spanning photography, painting and sculpture, the exhibition examines the subtle tension and introspection that can emerge in moments of stillness. Each artist approaches this theme through their own medium, considering how quiet pauses and restrained gestures can reveal deeper psychological and emotional states.

Across the exhibition, stillness is treated not as a passive condition but as an active space where thought, memory and perception unfold. Through varied materials and visual languages, the works invite viewers to reflect on the relationship between the physical environments we inhabit and the interior landscapes we carry within us.

Mediums: Photography, Painting, Sculpture

Artists

Chuma Adam

Chuma Adam is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores identity, self-actualisation and the complexities of interior experience. Her abstract surfaces often incorporate natural materials and layered mark-making to create tactile compositions that encourage reflection.

Elodie Burls

Elodie Burls investigates the relationship between humans and the natural world. Working with ink and bleach on resin-coated paper, she develops layered compositions that reflect on fragility, environmental change and shifting boundaries between interior and exterior space.

Jeanne Hoffman

Jeanne Hoffman’s paintings explore the emotional and cultural dimensions of place. Her work often brings together fragments of observation and memory, creating contemplative compositions that examine perception, language and landscape.

Thalente Khomo

Thalente Khomo is a photographer and visual artist whose work blends personal narrative with cultural memory. Drawing on her Nguni heritage, she explores themes of identity, imagination and healing through evocative photographic imagery.
