Hendrik Gericke , one of our favourite SW artists (he's doing the cover for SW09), is opening his debut solo exhibition at an awesome new little gallery on Kloof Street next week. The guy really is something of a phenomenon - kinda prolific (he paints by the meter, I shit you not), very talented and pathologically dedicated. If you're investment hunting, bring your credit card along - this artist is not going to go away, he's only going to get better, and his work is selling well already.
