Nomaza Nongqunga Coupez and Undiscovered Canvas propose to discover the South - African contemporary art towards the watch of four artists : Toni Bico, Thokozani Mthiyane, Juanita Frier and Giggs Nkole. These four artists give a huge importance to experience and identity towards spirituality, music and painting. They don't hesitate to integrate objects inside their paintings and like Thokozani Mthiyane does give them mystic and mystical qualities. The visitors can see also the fluidity of their painting who oscillates between abstraction and figurative movement.
