ABOUT
Gallery Fanon and Beefeater Gin have come together to bring you a truly extraordinary experience.
Join us for a truly magical evening at Gallery Fanon, for our deliciously curated Dinner Club series taking place on the 29th of September. The event will be a celebration of visual arts, culinary arts, flair mixology and music, all finely curated by Gallery Fanon.
The event will feature an exclusive preview of the upcoming art exhibition by Gallery Fanon represented visual artists. In this edition, the featured visual artist will be Ryan Shava, the 22-year-old prolific South African artist with Zimbabwean heritage. At just 18, he was the youngest finalist of the Sasol Limitless Art Competition. His work is best described as Neo-Expressionist, with strong influences by Jean-Michel Basquiat, however with strong ideas relating to contemporary South African life. With international art collectors and aficionados buying his art and with a recent sold out exhibition at the Pretoria Museum of Art and 5 sold out shows in the USA through 1xRun in Detroit, he is a force to be reckoned with.
Our culinary artists will be led by Chef Charmaine Lehabe, our award winning talented Chef who is passionate about the culinary arts describes the kitchen as her sanctuary. Creativity, passion and fine-dining is at the core of Charmaine’s ethos and process towards food. Prepare to be taken on a culinary journey by Charmaine's creativity and passion with a 3-course meal paired with a curated mix of fine beverages prepared by Bheki Khumalo.
