Everard Read CIRCA Gallery presents Exposure.  Lionel Smit’s latest exhibition of painting, sculpture and film explores the theme of exposure

Celebrating 10 years with Everard Read, Lionel Smit’s latest body of work demonstrates how forms of revelation and systems of exposure bear on the life and the world of the artist.

In March 2023, the Cape Town-based Everard Read CIRCA gallery, is launching a new collection of work by local artist, Lionel Smit. Smit’s exhibition reveals a deep understanding of image creation as a technological enterprise. With the camera serving as a point of connection, Smit asks what we expose to the lens and, by implication, to a larger public audience.  The exhibition will be on view at the gallery from 8 March to 1 April 2023.
