When we heard that he will be re-launching his exhibit as a collaborative piece, we decided to throw our own questions at him.

SB: What can you tell us about your upcoming exhibition launch?

LM: Well the upcoming launch is a joint effort seeing myself and a lady by the name of Leila Bennelli showcasing our stuff. I'll be re-introducing my series entitled "Reflections of inner truth". She will be launching her jewellery range entitled "The Leila Benelli collection” for the first time.

SB: How does this differ from your current exhibition at the Framery Art Gallery?

LM: It differs in the way we are packaging the entire experience of the opening night. We are fusing both national treasures (fine arts, jewellery) into one message: "Reflections of inner truth and beauty".

SB: Tell us a little about your latest collaboration?

LM: Well, I met up with Leila on a radio interview that she was doing of me and my exhibition. Little did I know that three weeks later we would meet again, only this time we would be discussing collaboration. It kinda just happened really.

Wanna know more?

Get to the Framery Art Gallery on 25^th August 2011 for Loyiso’s collaborative re-launch of "Reflections of inner truth and beauty".
