Some months the air is feverish and laden with insects and others it is as crisp as a Granny Smith apple and the waters are covered with ice crystals. No matter the relentless changes, in the Okavango Delta...View Exhibition

Witty, at times dark, and often visually psychedelic, the simplicity of his compositions belies the complexity of the work. Slabbinck’s collages are often published...View Exhibition
