I AM NATURE
~
“Nature is a problematic word. We understand it to be something other than ourselves. Through my current body of work, I strive to re-align notions of nature and self. Detachment from nature corrodes the disposition of our interactions with the environment. This relationship needs to be reconstituted.” - Jordan Sweke Jordan Sweke is an independent South African multi-media artist from Johannesburg, currently based in Cape Town. Sweke’s practice is concerned with an extensive and ongoing exploration of oil paint as a medium but branches out into a wide array of media. His work is primarily influenced by the connection between humans and the natural world and focuses on natural South African landscapes and inhabitants. His main concerns are to bring immersive natural scenes into urban spaces and to urge the public to reconnect with their natural heritage.
All art is available to purchase.

The gallery is open 5 days a week, Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 6pm.

Cavalli’s in house label produces wine from vines situated in the world-renowned Stellenbosch winelands. The Helderberg region in particular is known locally as the Golden Triangle of South African wine.
Cooled by summer Atlantic Ocean breezes off False Bay, the region enjoys a near-perfect climate and combines with the other terroir elements to develop complexity.
The vines lie on the slopes and in the foothills nestled below the Helderberg mountain and combines the influences of both the mountain and maritime climate.
