Review: Givan Lötz’s Unearthly unsettled familiar forms

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ArtThrob reviewed Givan Lötz’s Unearthly at Cape Town’s AVA Gallery in early 2020, focusing on the relationship between textured paintings and sculptural forms. Encaustic surfaces and assembled branches encouraged connections between imagined landscapes, bodily sensations and natural cycles. The critic saw the exhibition’s refusal of easily recognizable shapes as an invitation to reconsider human assumptions about the world, praising its capacity to sustain uncertainty rather than resolve it.
