One for the road is Karl Gietl’s latest and finest offering in Johannesburg before he sets off to live and work in the South of France. The exhibition of paintings also features his recent short films and will coincide with the launch of his new monograph simply entitled One for the road. The book is published by Afronova with the kind support of Hollard.

Exhibition runs until Saturday 19 April
